Olympia London
How to arrive at the venue

Logistics and unloading

If you're arriving at the venue to unload or load your vehicle, we require you to book a time slot through an online vehicle booking system called Voyage Control. This will ensure the build-up and breakdown process is quicker and smoother for you. You will not be charged for this service.

Please plan your journey ahead, as failure to book in advance will result in your vehicle being turned away.

Site changes as we develop

Olympia London will soon become part of a larger cultural destination. Redevelopment work is well underway while we continue to host inspiring events.

Parking

For any parking that is required in addition to the unloading or loading time, we require you to pre-book online to secure a space. Car park spaces will be charged at the normal tariff rates.

On the day of arrival to the venue, please note there is only access from Hammersmith Road turning left into Olympia Way. There is no right turn from Kensington High Street. Do not access from Blythe Road or Brook Green directions.
