The ExCeL exhibition centre in Newham's Docklands could soon be home to a new large casino. The exhibition centre in Custom House is already planning to expand its venue space to 100,000 sq m providing additional bars, restaurants and a new auditorium, writes Kay Atwal. Venue bosses are engaged in talks with casino operators and Newham Council, which is one of eight local authorities granted a licence by the Government to run a large casino.
