Olympia London Review

This great the home of London film comic con in July. See more info when you Google above event! Though can be very expensive for food and drink there is near by shops, cafes or bring your own food & drink. The convention can be very expensive for autographs and some actors ( mostly the event organisers Showmasters refusing you get "selfies" or posed photos .Which means forcing you to pay for professional photos. It's not cheap and way it's going not cheap those on a budget.

Good main space with two more big places available for compartmentalized displays, coupled with good facilities. Located right next to a plethora of public transportation (bus, trains, tube).

Went to Brides Show/TNWS, not bad and good choice of food options. V cool to get takeaway pizza express !

Ideal Home Show had to get rail replacement bus from Earls Court. The show was ok but this year they only gave out goody bags to people who had bought a show programme for a fiver!! Very disappointing!

Dull, dark and damp building full of rats running wild inside the venue.

Exhibition place but by God so not drive as you'll be disappointed at how much time you waste to find a parking space and if you're lucky to find one how much it sets you back.

No prayer facilities but we'll staffed with decent logistics/transport

I remember seeing The Rolling Stones at the Earls Court stadium in 1976 ......What an amazing show.....had great seats 5 rows from the front......still remember it.......Mick Jagger was superb

The venue is vast and impressive but is difficult to get to and doesn't offer free public WiFi

This is the perfect place to exhibit. We liked ecobeton stand with microcement a lot

Ideal Home Christmas Fair is always a lovely way to kick start your Christmas

Ideal Home Exhibition is well worth a visit to get a few bargains and lots of ideas how to make where you live a lovely home.

Lovely spectacle but the program is always very similar year after year.

Great spot for an event. Food and beverage options are really expensive and very uninspired. Suggest leaving for lunch. Also, nowhere to sit if you get tired.

Fantastic building, great exhibitions and events happening all the time

Venue was HUGE!!! Went for the beer festival, it was great, more than enough space for all the people that went. Toilets were a bit meh however!

Year too year is worst. No any magazine, welcome letter and stand is to expensive.

I've only ever been here for the Great British beer festival but when it comes to halls or expo spaces this is one of the best. Key part being the massive arched metal and glass roof that makes the venue feel big, open, and bright.

Great place for conferences. Not in central London though. More to the west.

Great venue for exhibitions and events. It has a very large space for many exhibits, stalls and companies to come and present themselves here. Beautiful architecture with perfect facilities for all of your needs, including tea/coffee, toilets, lifts, etc.

A great place for trade events! Very spacious, and airy. It's the high ceilings to commend.

London classic car show..Easy to get to on a Sunday..

It does its job but the loos are pretty dire
Not enough seats in the arena, even in the cafes.

It was amazing and no trafic or anything.....................there was good help!!!!

Good organised venue, easy to access, car parking is good, pre book it.

Good exhibition centre with plenty to do and look at

Came to the horse show in December, it was awesome

Amazing time. Ideal home Christmas expo. Defiantly recommended

Had a good time at the Ideal Home Show, but didn't feel like there were any decent show offers. It's worth going just for a day, maybe together with some ideas, but but not sure you will benefit financially. I noticed many stands related to smart homes, it's clearly in its infancy at the moment and expensive.

We attended the Korean Festival and thoroughly enjoyed the event. Please bring more events like this to Olympia. Thanks!

Not really the show it was last year, food court area was manic. Not much inthe way of innovation but a reasonable day out and easy to reach by train.

Went to the Christmas show. It's a pain to get to and the show was ok, lots of household equipment rather than Christmas stuff but who doesn't want a mop for Christmas?

Great venue for events like the Great British Beer Festival.

Great classic care show, well laid out and comfortable viewing.

A great venue and a good size but the lifts for the disabled were very temperamental. They need some engineering attention. It was dissappointing they did not work evety time. Even ringing the emergency bell had no response from anyone.

A vast conferencing centre, much requiring refurbishment and bringing into this century. Toilets and basic amenities are somewhat shoddy.

The venue was great but the air conditioning is not strong enough for a hot day.

Great venue with good facilities and very close to train station. It's very easy to get there.

Awesome venue for an awesome convention. My only complaint would be disabled access to the upper levels is restricted due to small lifts so there were always queues but I can't imagine they can do much to remedy that so I'm happy to give the five stars still. Plenty of toilets, which is a must at these events and some acceptable albeit slightly overpriced cafes.

Attended the Ideal Home show, a very well organ7sed event with plenty of room for the crowds and a very wide variety if stands and stalls

We went to the ideal home show there. It has it's own designated station opposite. Easy to get to.

Went to Olympia for the great British beer festival, and I do feel that it is a very good venue for it. Large enough to cope but easy to access. Busy but not uncomfortable. Also impressive Victorian structure.

Went to the ideal home show. Was easy to get and clearly sign posted from the underground station. The place it's self is nice and the staff are well mannered and helped me with any questions I had.

I like the ideal home exhibition which is held here.food and seating could be better.

Went to the GBBF.. the place is awesome for a conference or event. Natural light throughout, toilets clean/tidy, good air circulation and not stuffy.
Very well ran venue

Great place for events, staff are very helpful. I had a great time here for the film comic con! Large open space but can get very hot in parts and can be come very crouded.

Large exhibition centre for shows and trade fairs like the yearly horse show and ideal home show. Easily accessible by train from Olympia station on the Overground and Southern railways also a short bus journey from Hammersmith. On the days of big shows buses are run from Earls Court station.

Massive space holding events. Good toilet facilities. Catering establishments obviously have a captive audience and are priced as such which is a shame. Posh food, messed about with rather than straightforward, presumably to justify the price tag!

Massive place for exhibitions. Commences great exhibitions and has good facilities too.

Really like the airy and light space inside Olympia, but the building could do with a makeover.

Massive place that puts on loads of events,just check on line

Olympia is a huge event space which can be sectioned off as required. It's light and airy due to the huge glass roof.
The only drawback is that the District Line is not running every day.

Watched Horse of the Year show here. Thoroughly enjoyed my time here, would recommend.

Visited last weekend to see holiday and travel show.Great place.So much to see and do.A great venue.

Had a real good time and saw new swim wear by theaquacloset amazing!

Ideal Christmas home show, nice day out with the family, all well spread out, food and utilities were all exeptable, not overly pushchair friendly so that's the only reason marked down by a star

Lots to see and do..great gadget demos and food, drink tasting..fabulous day out with my friend...

Olympia London home to lots of swows and exhibitions. Easy to access by tube or buses. It is a nice building itself is worth to see outside and inside. Always worth to visit.

Great travel exhibition and enjoyed the French property show the week before

Went here for the Ideal home exhibition plus the food and wine festival. Very busy here with lots of stalls, stands and activities. Some very aggressive selling techniques were employed by some of the sellers making it very uncomfortable to stop and actually look at the goods in your own time. A huge variety of food and drink stalls, with plenty of free samples (being abused by some very selfish, greedy people). Quite pricey for everything here but all in all, not too bad. This is all set in the wonderful building at Olympia and makes the day a whole lot better.

I love attending Hyper Japan convention here. Compared to other venues this is the best place. Easy to navigate and explore.

Great day out at the ideal home exhibition. Public transport including bus tube and train stops right by the complex. Plenty of toilets which were clean, food and drink can be purchased inside with seating areas. Need a whole day for the big shows to get around it all, be prepared for a lot of walking so sensible shoes. Seems good for those that use wheelchairs or mobility scooters. Check their website out for all the other events held there.

Nice place. Lots of exhibitions to see. Easy to get to.

Comic-Con was amazing, so much more organised this year

Easy to get to, jumping straight off the overground. I managed to get a train direct from Milton Keynes.

I've been to a couple of events here, great size and easy access.

Currently the hosts for Showmasters London Film and Comic Con and LFCC Spring/Winter. They used to be the venue for Walker Stalker Con London.
