If you’re an early riser you’ll probably have a few hours before the event. Here's how we suggest you spend them.
There are a number of delightful parks in the local area that you could visit for an invigorating walk or even a jog.
Holland Park is open from 7.30am and has stunning themed gardens, cultivated woodlands, a café and sports facilities. It’s a great way to start the day.
Kensington Gardens is the west side of Hyde Park. Marvel at Kensington Palace and its sunken garden; mingle with the dog walkers and cyclists on Broad Walk, or just stroll around the pond. Then jump on a bus along High Street Kensington and arrive at the venue refreshed and ready for the day.
The area around Olympia London also has some great places for breakfast, from simple to indulgent.
L'Elysee is opposite the venue. If it’s a fresh coffee and delicious pastry you’re after, this is the place. It’s very well priced too.
Balans brasserie is a short walk from Olympia London. It serves a wider selection of healthier alternatives, but our favourites are the eggs Benedict or blueberry pancakes.
