For nearly 140 years, Olympia has been one of central London’s most iconic venues, offering a spectacular setting for events of every scale. Blending stunning heritage architecture with world-class event facilities, Olympia offers a versatile collection of spaces perfectly suited to Christmas parties, festive receptions, gala dinners and corporate celebrations.
Within Olympia’s heritage halls, there are four impressive event spaces, each offering flexible layouts and large capacities to accommodate a wide range of festive event formats, all of which can be tailored to create memorable experiences for every guest list and style of event. Alongside the historic halls, the brand-new International Convention Centre (ICC) and The Addison premium lounge are also available to hire, offering state-of-the-art facilities and elevated hospitality experiences.
Olympia is managed by Legends Global, which operates a portfolio of more than 450 venues worldwide, ensuring best-in-class expertise in venue operations, guest experience and event delivery. All food and beverage across the venue is delivered in-house, enabling fully bespoke Christmas packages that include everything from festive bowl food and canapé receptions to seated dining, cocktails and premium drinks packages.
Now entering an exciting new chapter, Olympia is unveiling a landmark £1.3bn regeneration, transforming the historic venue into London’s newest cultural and entertainment destination. Event organisers now have the opportunity to be among the first to host festive celebrations within this reimagined destination, designed to deliver an unforgettable guest experience.
Beyond the event spaces themselves, the transformed destination will feature an exciting mix of restaurants and bars, two hotels operated by citizenM and Hyatt Regency, the new British Airways ARC live entertainment venue operated by AEG Presents, the British Airways Theatre, and vibrant new public spaces, creating a dynamic destination for guests to enjoy before, during and after every event.
Located in West Kensington within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Olympia benefits from exceptional connectivity across London and beyond. With its own dedicated station at Kensington (Olympia), five additional transport lines within a 15-minute walk, and direct access to Heathrow in just 30 minutes, Olympia offers a highly accessible destination.
