When the International Convention Centre (ICC) at Olympia opens in 2026, it won’t just be another London venue. Part of a £1.3bn transformation, it is being designed with all types of event organisers in mind, offering the flexibility and infrastructure required to deliver outstanding experiences.
A Venue with Heritage and Innovation
For over a century, Olympia has hosted world-class exhibitions and live events. Its new chapter blends this heritage with future-ready facilities, creating a modern hub for conferences, AGMs, exhibitions, awards, and beyond.
Versatile Spaces for Every Format
The ICC’s design puts adaptability first. The main auditorium seats 800+, with a second for 400. Seven breakout rooms, a business lounge, and 3,000 sqm of flexible event space mean organisers can scale events up or down with ease.
Central Hall within the ICC provides an open-plan layout that acts as a true blank canvas, capable of becoming an immersive activation space, a gala dinner setting, or a multi-format showcase. Meanwhile, premium standalone rooms on Levels 2 and 2M are ideal for workshops, strategy sessions, or board-level meetings. Whatever the format, spaces can transform seamlessly to meet the organiser’s vision.
Built-in AV, plug-and-play technology, and customisable LED lighting also allow teams to deliver smooth production and dynamic brand storytelling without added complexity.
Sustainability That Delivers
Olympia was among the first UK venues to sign the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge. Its staff-led initiative, The Grand Plan, drives sustainability across operations, with achievements including zero waste to landfill and over 98% recycling rates. Every organiser benefits from a post-event sustainability report, tracking energy, water, waste, carbon, and even logistics data – providing actionable insights to help deliver greener events year after year.
Beyond the Event
The ICC is more than a conference centre, it’s a destination. On-site dining includes The Addison members’ club, perfect for evening networking or private dinners, with over 30 food and drink concepts across the estate for further experiences beyond the main event. International visitors will also benefit from two new onsite hotels, citizenM and Hyatt Regency, with a combined 350 rooms.
Easy Access
Located where Kensington meets Hammersmith, Olympia is directly connected to Kensington (Olympia) station with further Underground, Overground, and National Rail services within walking distance, plus Heathrow just 30 minutes away.
