Times have changed since the Olympia first flung open it doors to the public on Boxing Day 1886 for the Hippodrome Circus, with the promise of a spectacle involving 400 performers, 300 horses and six "funny" elephants. These days state-of-the-art equipment and a team of skilled in-house technical and support staff are on hand to help event organisers provide both trade and public shows that are top of their class. Comprising Olympia Two, the Grand Hall, National Hall and the purpose-built Olympia Conference Centre there's a space for every type of event. With the Olympia and Earls Court Conference and Exhibition Centre, EC & O Venues runs two of London's best known exhibition centres.
