Ideally located in the heart of London, Olympia Conference Centre is an exceptionally versatile venue used for a range of events including conferences, award ceremonies, press conferences and product launches. See their corporate video for examples.

 

The venue includes a state-of-the-art auditorium with tiered, theatre-style seating with two conference rooms, five seminar rooms and a spacious and a fully furnished reception area. See more photos here.

 

The venue also boasts specialist, in-house catering, audio-visual, and communications services, a dedicated entrance, furnished organiser's offices, cloakroom, full disabled access and on-site parking for 670 vehicles.

 

Erected in 1885 by Andrew Handyside of Derby it was said to be the largest building in the UK covered by one span of iron and glass. By the 1900's, Olympia was regularly hosting the Royal Tournament.

 

It now features three exhibition halls known as Olympia Grand Hall (19,325m² on two levels), Olympia National Hall (8,730m²), and Olympia 2 (7,850m² on three levels). Together with Earl's Court, these facilities are operated by "EC&O Venues".
