Went for the "Just V show" which was in parnership with the "allergy and free from show" and "love natural love you". The area is nice but not very easy to park in so public transport is advised, however, there is a side road outside for dropping off and taxis. The hall has a very large capacity and has a very high roof which lets in natural light.
I attended a wedding show which ended today. There wasn't a lot of exhibitors but the few I saw had nice things and discounts to woo the shoppers like the wedding dresses with up to 35% or so, photography , giving people a chance to win a whole photoshoot for their wedding and live band performance as well as a lady who featured with the harp , she played at Duke and duchess of Cambridge 's wedding.
I can only comment on the show we went to not on olympia as a whole, we went to the christmas show and it was absolutely terrible, they let in too many people im suprised it wasn't a fire risk, you couldnt see any stall because of the sheer amount of bodies, and it was all generic samey stalls with the usual stuff, christmassy i wouldn't say so.
At the Christmas show I had the best time with family and friends
Such lovely atmosphere, and we took some amazing pictures
Depends on the event but usually a great place to hold and or visit one. Enjoyed Top Drawer 2017 here. Something rather classic about this venue probably the huge glass roof.
Traveled by the London Overground, easy journey. Had a good day at The Ideal Home Show. Busy venue a bit difficult to find your way around, coffee a little overpriced.
Great events venue, was at info sec highly recommend
It is and exhibition center like many others. It is centrally located which is both a blessing and a curse in London. It is easy to reach, Overground stop is right in front of it and Tube is also close.
Great venue for events.With the train station (DLR) on its door step.
Great place to visit, lots to see and participate in some exhibitions.
Ideal home expedition. Nowhere near as good or innovative as years ago. Gone down hill & very overpriced.
Been twice for Walker Stalker Convention, best Con ever
Great place to visit very stunning it's a historical place in London.
I went to Vegfest 2014, was a really nice set up. Entry was cheap, i met a lot of chocolatiers and plenty of healthy people. We sold a lot of Coconuts Fresh! I met a Nut butter maker called MOrdechai. The venue is very big and nice location.
Cruise show. I was expecting to see more if the cruise companies and get a real feel for what it's like aboard ship. No such luck. We did however spend 2hrs chatting with Demi from Marella who found us the perfect cruise on P&O.
Good venue for a conference, depending on the size of the conference tho you may have to go outside to get to parts of it (if keynotes are happening in the 'conference center' and everything else is in the main part.
I go to this place seasonally for my exams. The staff are friendly and co-operative, but they have no seats in the waiting area, so students either have to stand or sit on the floor for a long period of time, which makes the experience rather uncomfortable.
Fantasticly large space for exhibiting at the London Book Fair. Very efficiently run.
Excellent quality of Antiques being offered to suit a diverse range of interest
Attended the GB beer festival, very good spacious venue with ample well maintained toilets. The festival was superb as usual.
As an exhibition space it does its job. Truly appalling WiFi and very few cloakroom facilities that take digital payments.
A top class exhibition hall with all the attributes to go with it a definately superb place to visit outstanding old fashioned building with close links to Kensington Olympia station just across the road a must visit for all big shows here including ideal homes and other major exhibits
We enjoyed visiting the ideal home show ....our highlights were the food festival and sharing a freshly made pictashio ice cream...delicious!!!
Great venue for The London Wine Trade Fair held every May which unfortunately is not open to the general public.
It s an ok venue but for the price I would expect more
The place is wide but not too wide, will not kill your feet if you have to gi around the fair. And it's easy to find with public transportation. You will be not starving when having a fair in this place. You can buy food easily inside the fair, or outside the building. Many restaurants a long the street.
Nice area! Great Victorian buildings and nice atmosphere
The overground train stops very close to the main entrance. Huge exhibition hall, no surprises there. Plenty of transport connections but a little out of the way unless you're from West London.
Lovely atmosphere and decor with the ivy. Cocktails were nice and music was ok.
The Patty & Bun was by far the most busy food counter and queue was quite long all night.
Beautiful place to be with friends or familly.
Nice park with different places to cover all people.
Tennis courses
Playground
Ponds
Litle zoo
Birds
Skating
Walking areas
Running areas
Restaurant
Public toilets
And more
Great exhibition centre. All you could want in a handsome package!
Went there for the France Show and Collectormania.
They do great shows/events.
However It's not in the best location as you have to take several trains to get there.
Great venue easy to get to , just have lots of mini breaks , it's warm inside so cloakroom helps. Food is expensive.
Nice exhibition place!easy access. .based on my location at least :)
Large event and exhibition space in London. I have been here for dozens of shows over the years. Has a pizza express inside as well as several cafes and kiosks. Toilets are generally okay.
Easy access from London Olympia train station. This place became the main exhibition centre in the west London after the Earls Court exhibition centre closed.
It is a big venue with facilities and space for bid events. Nice and easy to find.
We travelled to London for RuPauls Drag Con and it was THE most badly organised event I've ever been to. for many reasons which I'd happily go through with organing committee if they got in touch.
Also only 4 kiosks to eat from inside, all serving only gluten, (one of us couldn't eat as having an alergy) whilst others had to queue for 45MINS for a drink. Absolute TERRIBLE DAY. especially being advertised and selling kids passes. It ruined a lot of young children's excitement.
Such a shame as it could of been a fantastic platform for such a great concept. I'm not sure if the faults were an organising company or the venue.
Considering this event center is in use all year round they should really so something to cool it better. But otherwise it's a great venue for whatever your visiting for.
Centrally located near the station for easy access to London Overground. Great venue for an exhibition. Helpful and friendly staff.
Just be aware that overground trains are not as frequent as tube and on one occasion the train was too full to bards. One stop away from Shepard s Bush which has several nice hotels and the huge Westfield shopping center.
Good shows across the year, particularly enjoy the Allergy and Free From Show!
Good open hall for conventions where attendees in the hundreds / low thousands are expected. Decent access is available for wheelchairs with multiple entrances. Parking is available however limited so worth booking beforehand.
Bit of a mission to get to but quite a good exhibition hall once there
Good area has shops for any essentials and easy place to get to by train, as the station is opposite Olympia. Floor Plan was easy to follow and locate businesses. Facilities in the venue are good.
Exhibitions are pretty good here but the venue is showing its age
Nice large exhibition area and close to train station which is a bonus. I'm was here for a two day event, so stayed over in local hotel. Great for hosting large events, plenty of facilities toilets, disabled access etc.
Great place where I saw London Comicon. Great environment.
Good sized venue. I went to the ideal home show which was good
Really great venue. Size is fantastic! Really quick taxi to paddington.
I enjoyed the comic con here only downside was stairs, time overlapped not organised. Overall it was a amazing experience day out to London
Crowd is not running you over there. I guess there are fans visiting famous stadions. Swimming pool is open for public. Even local bus takes off near by 388 not far from sport facilities and 25 from bus stop near station. Convenient, as you see important bits of London going back with 388 to city centre and day ticket for buses is only 5 pounds. If you go by underground, it is around 12 pounds and you get to see the good old underground. But there is nothing beyond good old really. Quite annoying place compared to streets, some nice sights to remember at least.
Enjoyed Christmas show with my daughter lots of things to try.
We loved it because it was the first time we exhibited there with our Dr Zigs Extraordinary Eco Bubble toys!
London Drum Show...excellent show, venue easy to get to & a great place to visit.
Decent event venue, was here for the IBM Think Summit.
Went to pc gamer event here was a good venue . I would definitely go again
Attend the London build 2018 there. Convenient place and well organized expo.
The venue location is handy as I live in West London. But once inside, it's not so pleasant. They arrange exhibits so close together and the food is at extortionist prices with very little choice.
Nice venue, but too little parking. Could do with more sit down seating for lunch.
Visited here for the Hyper Japan festival which was awesome. Great venue space.
I was here for 100% design exhibition. This is next to the overground station.
Some bar, cafe and good restaurants are around.
Great venue, only issue was the queue for the bars!
Olympia London, is a event center in London. It's to one side on Hammersmith Rd, and the other side on Kesignton. It's just opposite the Kessignton train station, from where you can take trains to the central Victoria Underground Station in Buckingham. The event center is famous for holding world class events like conferences, summits and live events.
Good space. Crowds well managed. Plenty of room for big events. The venue wasnt too warm.
Reasonable venue (although not as good as the sadly demolished Earl's Court.
Aspects of its style are similar to the Business Design Centre, altough it lacks the intimacy of that site.
Far smaller than Excel - although more convenient when apporaching London from the west.
Awkward to get to by public transport though, as not that close to any underground stations (there is a dedicated tube station, but it is only opperational during weekend events at the site.
Massive event space in a more central area of London, easy to get to, well run.
A huge building that can accomodate a big event. I have visited this space for London Book Fair last year. Good place for holding a big event
Good venue for events only real downside was the location
Great exhibition venue, easy to get to and not so big you can get lost easily
Nice venue, but the convention itself wasn't very good
