Olympia London

44,000 sqm across The Grand Hall, The National Hall, West Hall Ground Floor, West Hall Level 1, The ICC (International Convention Centre) and British Airways ARC.

Olympia has hosted exhibitions since the Victorian era and has been through a significant modern redevelopment. Its halls therefore vary in age, layout and ceiling height - do not assume a stand design will translate directly from a more standardised venue.

Confirm rigging points, ceiling height and floor loading for your specific hall before finalising the design. This is one venue where asking a contractor whether they have built in your hall matters more than whether they have built at the venue.

Kensington Olympia station sits directly beside the venue, and the Underground is within walking distance. West Kensington is reachable from central London and beyond without a car.

No coach parking on site - the nearest facility is Wembley.

Vehicles enter via Blythe Road, accessed from Hammersmith Road. The venue recommends approaching from the Hammersmith direction.

Maximum vehicle height is 4.4 metres.

All vehicle access must be pre-booked through Voyage Control (olympiaevents.voyagecontrol.com). Bookings open roughly 30 days before the event starts. One booking per vehicle per day, and consecutive time slots are not permitted.

The vehicle type and registration must match the booking - vehicles that do not match may be refused entry.

Parking rates vary by event and must be pre-booked at least 24 hours in advance through Olympia's portal.

Van and lorry spaces are limited, capped at 7.5 tonnes, and require advance pre-booking. Parking beyond your loading slot needs a separate booking.

Arrive at your allocated time - vehicles arriving early or late may be refused access. You should be ready to complete loading or unloading within the booked slot.

Traffic staff control all on-site vehicle movement and their instructions must be followed.

IT and connectivity for exhibitors is booked through eForce, not the venue directly. Lost property: lostproperty@olympia.london.

Olympia London is served from our Fordingbridge depot in Hampshire, with Aluvision and T3 stock held there.

Olympia runs a strict vehicle booking system through Voyage Control, with a 4.4m height limit and refusal for vehicles arriving outside their slot. We handle the booking, the stand plan and the on-site management, so the delivery window is our problem rather than yours.

ESSA Tier 5 accredited - the only stand builder in Scotland to hold it - and every stand we build is designed to be reused rather than skipped.
