Olympia London Review

Interesting place. Was venue for the London Beer Festival (GBBF). Well served by the Underground. Easy to get to.

It was my first time at Olympia for a IT conference and the venue was clean and had good facilities for food and coffee. Only complaint I have is how hot it was in there. Granted it was about 25C outside but this is a massive hall and should have sufficient air conditioning to keep everyone cool and comfortable.

Amazing venue for events, not too many restaurants options nearby but you can find a couple of decent ones

I feel like a little girl in a sweetie shop but I didn't see a lot of vendors which was disappointing.

Very good ideal home show excellent location for the Overground train station

It's good place to go if you're looking for inspiration regarding holidays

A wonderful day out at The Knitting and Stitching show. The venue was clean, bright and welcoming. Great range of exhibitors.

Once again fixing media vehicles. Very easy to find helpful staff here .

Great place to browse around if you love arts and crafts

Venue for exhibition fine - really need more public toilets!

Here for infosec 2018. Good venue. Not short of amenities. Lots of alternatives for food and drink externally. Well connected to transport

Great place Pergola Olympia restaurant and bar. Large place, great service. Excellent burger.

Great Venue. Centrally located. Attended BETT exhibiiton here. Neat and clean. Good crowd management. Nice eating joints outside.

In response to your question:
I was the Senior Manager - International Business for Designmate upto Jan 2015. I have attended BETT from 2010 up to 2015 in London. Till 2013, It was held at Olympia and then the venue was shifted to ADNEC exhibition centre. My experience at the Olympia was very good and I used to look forward to the exhibition every year. My company generated a lot of business and partners through the BETT exhibition and I personally made some good distributors for my territories. All in all it was a great experience attending BETT and getting to meet so many ed tech companies face to face under one roof. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Favorite venue for events it has that old building charm mixed with modern facilities and some great events

Attended the The Places In The Sun property expo - well located and organized venue!

I went to this venue for HYPER JAPAN festival. Nice big space for it and well planned out :)

Ideal home show excellent, Olympia ideal venue, well thought out and great value

It's OK and good, if you haven't been for a couple of years. Lots of ideas though.

More seating in the food area of the Christmas Ideal Home Exhibition please.

Excellent way to start Christmas. Excellent show fast turn around between classes.

Ideal Home Exhibition is turning into something else. Too many nail, beauty, massage, clothing stands. Not enough quality products on show.

Great place to visit, I really enjoyed my day there and thought prices very reasonable so bought some nice presents

Good time at jewellery show.
Only thing that spoiled the day was a man at the Calvin Klein stand. One of the rudest spoilt men I have ever met.

Sadly disappointing compared to previous years. Very little beauty ie no manicures or manicure products, one stand selling hair straighteners, one stand for teeth whitening same price as previous but only 15 mins. REALLY!!!, what whitening can you get done in that time RIP OFF. Virtually no household gadgets to speak of. This Summer's I.H.E was also disappointing. Considering the price of tickets not sure if 2019 will be worth visiting. VERY DISILLUSIONED, and DISHEARTENING.

Sensational trade show venue. Amazing daylight which makes the venue seems very bright and airy so you don't feel the normal fatigue associated with visiting a fair.

Very nice venue. Staff are very friendly and helpful. It's got a number of good travel routes to.

Very easy to get to. Fabulous exhibition place. Would suggest buying food and drink before you go as can be a bit expensive inside.

Nice staff and good security including a sniffer dog and the venue mikuexpo 2018 Europe was amazing

Big venue, easy to get lost in if both halls are being used. There's a pizza express adjoining if none of the food places in Olympia are your kinda thing. Interesting architecture, reminiscent of Paddington station. Toilets regularly dotted around, so you're never that far from one.

Wonderful Victorian exhibition hall.
Served by the Underground and many buses so it is very easy to reach.

Home of the annual Great British Beer Festival run by CAMRA. Always a pleasure to attend.

Great British Beer Festival... We came, we drank, we staggered off home . HIC

A spacious building great for huge conferences and business events. Staff also very professional and hospitable.

I went to the Ideal home exhibition very good day xx

I went to the ideal home show 2019 and it was great fun! The show itself was brilliant and crammed with all sorts of products and technology to improve your home. The building itself is huge and looks spectacular! The glass roof is something to behold from the inside as it let's sun illuminate the entire area. Fantastic place and will be going to the ideal home show again!

Ideal Home Exhibition. The usual... Houses, villas etc downstairs and food and drink and gadgets etc upstairs. Not too busy.

Attended for Dragworld 2018! Lovely venue, lovely staff and greatly organised

Love London International showjumping, dressage and driving. A must do for everyone at Christmas

Most important - don't come by car! Parking in their bays are horrid expensive. Nearby parking all charged and fines will be issued if you dare not pay.

Not a busy exhibition and also not too big so it was easy for us to move around. The hall staff were quick to check tickets and get people in, that is what is needed for an exhibition hall. If you go to Olympia, when in the hall, look up at the roof.

Went to comic con 2019, really well organised event, didn't have to queue very long.

This is a massive events venue! There are several entrances which can be confusing - the entrance you use will be dependent on where your event is being hosted It is easily reached through the Overground train, Kessington Olympia. A bit of a walking distance from or to London underground. Definitely great for conferences and big events.

I went to the Great British Beer festival here, which wasn't much to talk about, ie badly organized, poorly laid out, in my opinion. The venue was far too big for this festival.

Excellent venue, so large with excellent restaurants and perfect for massive events and conventions such as London Film and Comic Con. It holds so many and looks incredible, it's just a shame Shoemasters massively overbook the venue with way too many people.

Multi Floor with all facilities a conference OT exhibition hall should posses.reastaurants, dress lockers, toilets and easy navigation to all the places.

The Destinations travel show has now spread to the upper gallery area. There is now a greater feeling of space with more room to move around, to sit and to enjoy refreshments. Also a number of new exhibitors alongside the old favourites- I wish I had the time and money to travel with more of them.

Very spacious place for this kind of Comic Con. nice atmosphere too.

One of the most versatile event locations in London. I have worked at many differents events at the Olympia and had always a great time.

Extremely well kept, huge space and has a lot of services. Visited for the best you expo. Would go again

Ideal home exhibition my favourite exhibition . Olympia is a great venue

Went here for a ComicCon and it was great, spacious and clean. Very close to the train station and local shops nearby.

Not my favourite place for expositions. The place overall is not bad and in a nice area but too small. We didn t find it convenient for our exhibition.

Excelent family day out at Olympia London in Ideal Home 2018
Great the cooking setion with chef Simon, very good!

Lovely place, great atmosphere, friendly service and well laid out

Great centre however could be better by having tube link during the week

Great venue for events. I was recently here for the Mind, Body, Spirit event and I had a great time. I highly receive for an evwnt.

Disabled access needs to be sorted re long Queues. Disabled toilets need to be checked more of more often as the one I had to use was totally blocked and stank.

Nice size venue. And easy to get to. Plenty travel alternatives and Kensington Olympia Station is a stone throw away.

Such a brilliant centre shame the food and drink prices are as high as they are

I was at RBTE 2018. The Olympia London center is like a train depot. Definitely not what I expected.

Hyper Japan in the summer. It was s great place, good, fashion & entertainment.

Went to lfcc hear and was a good day very spacious and a lot going on.

Went to distinction at Olympia, great show the only down side was the food which was over priced and was terrible. Eat outside is my advice.

Terrible cloakroom. Disabled access zero. Venue needs a serious renovation.

Nice venue. Big spacious floors, helpful staff, and fairly easy to get to

Ideal Home Christmas exhibition, absolutely amazing, from tacky to deluxe decorations and gifts on lower floor. Food and drink tasting and eatery on upper floor many vegan options available. Thoroughly enjoyed this event.

I would have loved it 10x more if I was drunk. It's the perfect atmosphere for a drunken dinner before going out. But very loud

Xmas ideal home show. Absolutely packed. Mostly overpriced

It's OK went for the hyper Japan event large enough and easy transportation..

I go every year for the Organic and Gluten Free show and it's always a good event.

I've been there for other things and they're always good.

Great venue. The security staff that were there were superb. Very professional and courteous. Excellent service overall.

Visited Food and drink festival as well as the Ideal home exhibition. Well run and busy. Not enough seating in the food area though, which meant that we didn't spend as much time as we would have liked to. The ideal home show was pretty good. Sunday tube was it's usually unreliable service.

Great Great British Beer Festival. A massive selection of beers - most at a good cost!

Went for ideal home exhibition. Great venue, very large. Well connected with a tube station next door. Plenty of places to eat. Good toilet facilities.

Beautiful building & used to go to some great exhibitions, however as my friends who go with me including a cousin who was 7 mths pregnant found, there is very few places to sit down unless you're buying lunch or drinks. Nobody wants to stand or walk for hours around an exhibition even the fittest person. Olympia exhibition centre take note.
