Thoughts from our Property Experts

London is a city constantly evolving, with ambitious regeneration projects reshaping its skyline and cultural landscape. One of the capital’s most high-profile redevelopments—Olympia London will be vying for the attention of Londoners and international visitors alike in 2025 when it launches. Boasting a rich history, multi-billion-pound investment, and a vision for the future that blends commerce, culture, and community – it will be guaranteed success.

 

Olympia London is undergoing a £1.3 billion redevelopment to transform it into a world-class cultural and business hub. The new-look Olympia, set to open later this year, will offer visitors an outstanding experience:

• A 4,400-seat live music venue operated by AEG Presents

• A 1,575-seat theatre from West End producer Trafalgar Entertainment

• A creative office campus, with attractive tenants such as media giant Publicis Groupe

• Two hotels, a choice of restaurants, and local bars

• A reincarnation of a new exhibition centre, continuing Olympia’s legacy, to offer London’s leading trade show venue in an easy access location

• A new outdoor sky garden and expansive pedestrian walkways featuring gorgeous green spaces

Olympia’s story dates back to 1886, when it opened as one of London’s grandest exhibition spaces. Designed in the Victorian era, its iconic Grand Hall’s barrel-vaulted glass roof was an architectural marvel of its time. Over the decades, Olympia has hosted everything from wellbeing shows and car exhibitions to entertainment trade fairs.

The redevelopment retains Olympia’s historic heritage whilst modernising it for a 21st-century lifestyle. Olympia is restoring its original exhibition heritage architecture – a feature appreciated by today’s generations.

For generations, Londoners have flocked to Olympia for trade shows, consumer shows and cultural events. The new development excites many because it promises to enhance the city’s arts and entertainment scene. The addition of live music, theatre, and hospitality options will make Olympia a 24/7 destination rather than just a daytime exhibition venue.

Today Londoners will love: 

• A residential neighbourhood area with new eateries, cafes & outdoor living  
• Established creative and media communities with The Design Museum close by

• Close proximity to Hammersmith, Notting Hill and Holland Park for professionals, families and top local schools

•  Easy access to White City and Westfields for luxury shopping
• West Kensington (Olympia) accessibility

• London connection via the Overground, District Line, and mainline trains

Olympia is still under construction, and almost ready to open in late 2025/2026.
Once completed, its entertainment offering will create a modern West London destination to rival London's other cultural hubs such as The Southbank.

Olympia London promises huge cultural influence in the future. It will become a creative hub for the city, attract new vibrant businesses, and draw the world's best music artists to perform in the live music venue.
