Boaz SachsSeptember 28, 2015Large conference space with good amenities and a handful of different types of food options. Obviously depends on what's being displayed but the venue itself is pretty top notch- Excellent exhibition space. Highlight of the year is the week long Great British Beer Festival.
HISTORY UKFebruary 14, 2011The exhibition centre began life as the National Agricultural Hall in 1885. The world’s largest military pageant, the Royal Tournament (est.1880), was held here from the 1900s to 1999.- Anna ClarkJune 25, 2014There's a lovely French cafe called L'Elysee next to Tesco Express down the road - has lovely fresh baguettes and coffee! Much better than conference food.
- Miss GhSeptember 25, 2015Here i visited national wedding expo. Great variety and quality bridal wear, not only that, lots of things! Highly recom for brides to be, all dresses with discounts
Style ReinsNovember 22, 2011Venue for the London International Horse Show. Friday is the night to watch the Puissance competition where the wall get's higher and higher! The Shetland Pony Grand National is also great fun.
Fernando ElizaldeMarch 11, 2016Great 19th century venue, very ackward to get to if one is not close to the Overground line that goes by it.
Caroline WatsonJune 25, 2015Best place to eat nearby is Alounak at 10 Russell Garden. Escape the overpriced and frankly substandard offerings nearby that fleece the conference crowd.
Ged CarrollSeptember 27, 2015On site coffee is pretty good, don't go via Kensington Olympia, walk in from Barons Court
Post OfficeSeptember 24, 2010The Ski and Snowboard Show descends on London’s Olympia every October - it's always packed full of new and interactive winter sports features. Read more
Gokhan OrduJune 17, 2015Turkish citizens come here to vote. Note this down as we have some kind of elections quarterly.
Awesome venue but you have to venture out quite far if you want food and fun.
Federica BowmanJanuary 28, 2012Everyone's saying it, and they're right. Don't eat inside, rip off. For breaky head to Franks cafe opposite. Great bacon sarnies.
Sirrsb MclovingMay 29, 2017No easy place to smoke. Had to be searched every time we went out for a smoke. Should of fenced of a little area
Tim BushJanuary 12, 2011Bring your own food or visit one of the places outside the venue. The food inside Olympia is a rip off! £4.50 for an egg sandwich!
Richard ActonMarch 15, 2010There's a tesco express over the road if you want don't want to eat conference food
James ElliottSeptember 9, 2010Not a bad venue. Bit old and tatty as an event place but location is good.
Dmitriy GeraninOctober 8, 2015Как выставочное пространство очень неплохо. Ресторанная выставка очень даже органично уместилась.
