Olympia London Review

Good space for conference and events. Close to tube stops (barons court and Kensington)

The organisers for the event I went to at the Olympia were fantastic, the building is spacious there is two floors to it, there was maybe a hundred stalls on the ground floor selling pictures, dvds etc. and yet there was space for food stalls around the walls there was also a double decker bus right in the middle.
The first floor is also spacious with a large open plan and a connecting room to one side.

Beautiful building, I always enjoy events here. Handy for the station.

Attended London Film and Comic Con. Well laid out so you don't have excessive walking. Not to many steps to got to upper level (there is a lift should you need it). Lots of toilet facilities. The pizza express in the corner was awesome, considering the speed at which they were chucking them out hands down the best pizza I've had at a restaurant. Looooooong queues, but they moved quick and efficiently to get you in.

Ideal home exhibition. Unfortunately most of the major companies no longer have stands so I'm afraid the organisers have lost the plot.
Better shows around by far.
My review is based on attending the last 6 shows and each show has deteriorated slightly every year.
Will not attend again

I attended for the toy fair 2018. This was my first time at the Olympia London. I found the building easy to find whilst walking. I did not realise till I entered the building that theres is a train station literally across the road.
The building itself is huge. Plenty of bathrooms on the either floor.

I went there during a comic con It does get quite busy so I would get there a few hours early to avoid queuing for hours like I did. Once I got In there it wasn't bad they had helpers and security to tell you and show you where to go and there are notice boreds with maps and timings of different shows and signings. They do have a few cash machines but they get really busy so I would recommend to bring cash with you as most stalls only accept cash. The only problems is that there isn't any where to sit down apart from on the floor and the food and drink is really expensive. Other than that I really enjoyed my self.

Brilliant venue, shame with regards to getting there by underground but overall nice and welcoming. Good range of events.

Great show...lots of different things to see and the prices were very good..

Great day at the Ideal Home exhibition. Well organised and clean facilities.

Good variety of shows, always something to interesting. They seem to lift prices for the car park though which is a big of let down

Amazing history. Loved running against my daughter and son down the track!

Great venue, obviously. Spacious, accessible, clean.
Not hitting the five stars because of the food facilities, not providing good value for money, and staff were so harassed they were barking at customers.
What a contrast with the Best of You expo we were visiting!
Note to the management: look after your people, they are the ones looking after your customers.

Lots of good shows to see... Parking available also, although area is heavily congested. Recommend using public transport

Not a bad exhibition centre here, close to the underground and easy to get into and out of.

Spent a really nice day out for the knitting and stitching they used to have in February but no more as I have to travel further now and cannot travel this far. Quite a few people I have heard comment about this.

Just been to The Toy Fair. Really swift system to get in, very organised and am impressed! Last time I was there I was an exhibitor (former job) This time I was a visitor!

Was here for the beer festival. Very big, set out well. Had a great day.

The spring knit and stich show today. was brill. Not too busy compared to the other days. Easy to navigate and clean facilities. Tea wasn't to my taste. Bit too earthy :/ but it was a bit drink and not expensive

Excellent day out at the Ideal Home Exhibition. This is a great location for big events like this.

This will always be my favourite exhibition centre, as it is down the road from me. Well deserved by public transport, it's a nice replacement to the former Earl's Court Exhibition Centre who is sadly no more.

Really nice venue, can't believe how much they change this place depending on the type of exhibition they are hosting.

Great day out and you get good ideas for decorating your house.

Many great exhibitions held here. Entrance has been refreshed and it's fairly easy to get to with parking and public transport. Hall is historical and great setting for many events. Good eating options nearby.

Plenty of space to hold events, but heating can be an issue. Also don't look up its not pretty.

Went to the recent franchise show and this year was much better than the last few years. Convenient for the station.

Went to yearly Vegan Show.

Big place with loads of stalls selling various foods and products.

This event was free so I purchased my ticket online.
They have upstairs and down stairs
Toilet facilities and wheel chair friendly.
Place to eat inside.

What a building! Attended the Heroes and Villains Fanfest here, and it was amazing. Loads of space, loads to see.

Fantastic show, love to come here but have to make time for it so we can look around everywhere

Nice venue. Fairly wheelchair accessible. I mark it down because it's central London where traffic, prices and parking are a bit of a nightmare. If you're visiting here, plan in advance! Parking on site is EXTORTIONATE! (see photo). You might want to take the tube or bus, unless you plan on doing a lot of shopping and need a way of getting it all back.

A wonderful place for all your toys and games and new products booked visiting only and stalls old we'll known companies and new worth a visit.

Really good expo however cloak room was extremely busy and there were only two people

Nice big event location, friendly staff available to help when needed. Also, this year's ideal home exhibition is great!

Perfect event hall hope to return to it in the future!

The lifts were in a poor state of repair. The selection of food was poor but they certainly know how to charge for it!

Rather dated exhibition hall, although facilities are good. Not many food or drinks outlets, all with large ques and not enough seating

We exhibited at the Better You Expo - Activation Products and Activation Europe and had a fantastic time. We weren't placed in the best walk fall location but the venue was perfect.

This is a great big exhibition centre with many halls . It is sited near to Kensington with its own train station . The shame is that because of the wonderful central position , it will soon be redeveloped into shops and flats . Until that time comes , you can enjoy lovely exhibitions and trade shows as well as Christmas markets .

Huge venue, not to hot in there, can't wait for the next comic and film con

Excellent location for huge exhibition. Attended Imbibe event

I went to the knitting & stitching show, great venue.

One of the best venues I been in. Music, car show, boxing match anything you can think of happens here.

The place is great for exhibitions. I have visited Olympia for Big data London 2019 event on 03rd of November.

We went to attend the Horse of the Year Show around Christmas time. We had great seats with amazing views. Its a great show to attend with plenty to see and lots of shops if you have horses or dogs. Plenty of food places and close to several railway stations so easy to get to.

A lot going on a lot of interesting services and goods for the home from prefab housing, luxury garden sheds, and just about anything else you would need for house and garden A good day out!

Good transport links, easy to navigate around. Could do with phone charging points. Nice quality venue.

We had a trade stand at the recent Comic Com show here selling Michael Foresters books. Two great days and....what a btilliant show.

Great day. Good food. Loads to see and do. Recommend Hyper-Japan.

Good transport links, numerous food and drink establishments

We saw Hatsune Miku tonight. Staff had no idea which exist we should use and kept directing everyone in the wrong direction. Saw a security staff member grab a guy for opening the fire door after everyone was sent in the wrong direction (upstairs). The security person was really rough with the guy for no reason. Pitty, the gig was great before that.

This is a massive space with good transport connections. We went to Hyper Japan and the layout inside was really easy to navigate and there was a little extra hall for the sake tasting off the main area. There were plenty of toilets to go round so there wasn't much of a wait, but I would imagine the other facilities e.g. the food and other activities on offer would depend on the function being held there. It was quite confusing trying to work out how to get in, though, as there were different types of passes and entrances.

Great venue. Enjoyed all the events I ve attended there. Shame about the parking, it is VERY expensive.

Loved Pure London Fashion Trade Show taking place there!

Went for Infosec, great venue as expected. Met Darth Vader.

Went to lfcc here it was really big so many levels to it

Went for the annual business show, and it was everything I hoped for and more! Very well organized as well, easy to find what you want.

The London international horse show is the best if you love horses.

Huge venue but a list of in-house cafes would be great on website !

We came for the horse show. Very nice day out. Would come again as long as my sister gets into the dog agility final again

A large exhibition venue. We went for the ideal home show. Was well organised and set out. Staff were very helpful when needed.

It was not as good as previous year even listening to people passing by they were of the same opinion, not much to see very expensive even in the food hall.

The event we went to was well thought-out, with lots to do and see. It's a shame that there weren't more toilets as there's always such a big queue at events. Olympia conveniently next to train station and easy to navigate to/from Paddington.
