The Grand Hall During the GBBF

As well as two exhibition Halls the Olympia building contains one of the famous auction houses of London and a conference centre.

Getting there

You may think that going to Kensington Olympia Station is the the best way of getting to the Olympia Exhibition Center But no. If you find getting to Shepherds Bush easier you can walk there in around 15 minutes. This is often much shorter than the time you have to wait at Earls Court for a Tube train to take you there.

Nearby

You might want to take a bus outside to nearby shopping areas. To the left down the high street is Kensington High Street and to the right is Hammersmith.
