Ethos

Olympia London

Attraction · West Kensington, England

Olympia London is an exhibition complex on Hammersmith Road. Its designations come at two grades: the Grand Hall and Pillar Hall are listed Grade II*, NHLE 1096048, while Olympia National and Olympia Central are listed Grade II, NHLE 1456674, and the Olympia Garage Grade II, NHLE 1457494. The site is mid-redevelopment and markets new spaces alongside the historic halls, among them a music venue branded British Airways ARC and an outdoor space called The Square. A programme rather than an opening time governs a visit, so no hours are given here.

History

Programming for 2026 spans consumer fairs including the Spirit of Christmas Fair and The Ideal Christmas Show, trade events including the PLASA Show, Top Drawer, Big Data LDN and the International Security Expo, and arena-scale music from Van Morrison, Bloc Party and Interpol. Despite the W14 postcode and the Kensington (Olympia) station name, the site stands in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Blythe House, the former Post Office Savings Bank headquarters, stands about 190 metres away and is listed Grade II, NHLE 1390961. Kensington (Olympia) Underground station is 181 metres away and the adjacent rail station 213 metres on TfL's measurement.
