About the Olympia London
Located in West London, Olympia London is one of the UK’s most recognisable exhibition venues. Originally opened in 1886, its Grand Hall features a striking Victorian glass-vaulted roof that creates a distinctive exhibition environment unlike modern “flat-box” venues.
Today, Olympia combines heritage architecture with upgraded facilities following major redevelopment investment. The venue hosts a broad calendar of trade and consumer events, particularly within lifestyle, fashion, design, technology and specialist sectors. Its central London location ensures strong footfall, high-profile audiences and easy access via Overground, Underground and mainline rail connections.
