At Olympia London you can choose between four main halls of 3,300 m² to 14,000 m² in west London, with Kensington (Olympia) station right beside the venue. The Grand Hall can be connected directly to the National Hall and West Hall, so your show can take more floor without changing site.
Pick a hall that fits your show
The Grand Hall, the National Hall and West Hall each have their own entrance.
| Hall | Size (m²) | Maximum capacity | Maximum seated |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Grand Hall | 14,000 | 7,000 | 5,000 |
| The National Hall | 8,730 | 5,000 | 2,000 |
| West Hall Ground | 3,400 | 2,250 | 1,200 |
| West Hall Level 1 | 3,300 | 2,200 | 1,200 |
The Grand Hall, built in 1886 and Grade II listed, has a glass barrel-vault roof that lights the floor naturally and a gallery floor for staging or hospitality. Its Olympia Way entrance faces the station. The Henley Suite adds eight meeting and seminar rooms. The National Hall also has a gallery floor, and its Hammersmith Road entrance is 100 m from the station. West Hall has few pillars; its enclosed ground floor lets you control light and sound, while Level 1 has floor-to-ceiling windows.
Get your stand in and out on time
A booked slot gets you through the gate: every vehicle servicing an event must book through Voyage Control, normally from 30 days before opening. You get one booking per vehicle per day with no back-to-back slots, and the vehicle type and registration must match the booking. Early or late vehicles may be refused, and loading must finish within your slot. Goods access is by Blythe Road off Hammersmith Road with a 4.4 metre height limit. To stay on after your slot, pre-book parking online, ideally more than 24 hours ahead; spaces for vans and lorries up to 7.5 tonnes are limited. Read planning stand delivery and installation before booking.
Order services for your stand
Wired and dedicated Wi-Fi connections are booked online from Olympia Event IT, while visitors get free Wi-Fi. Rigging is planned with Outback Rigging Group. The in-house Exhibitor Express service lets you pre-order food, drink and equipment for delivery to your stand on the day. A cleaning and waste team is on hand, and large screens at the hall gable ends can carry your brand. Planning live demos? See choosing a venue for a product demonstration. Olympia does not sell stand space itself, so contact the show organiser to exhibit.
Travel by rail, Tube or bus
Public transport spares you a parking hunt: local streets have strict restrictions and Olympia is inside the ULEZ. Kensington (Olympia) is served by London Overground Mildmay line trains between Stratford and Clapham Junction and by Southern trains to Watford Junction. You can change at Shepherd’s Bush, or at West Brompton on weekdays, for a two-minute Overground hop. West Kensington on the District line is an eight-minute walk, Barons Court nine minutes, and Hammersmith 15 minutes on foot or five by bus. Visitor parking is for blue badge holders, booked ahead, and there is no coach parking, the nearest being at Wembley.
Stay and eat on site
You can sleep on site at Hyatt Regency London Olympia or citizenM London Olympia. The Grand Hall has four dining outlets and the National Hall three. Most shows do not sell tickets on the door, so register before you travel.
