The neighbourhood

Named for the world-renowned exhibition centre which has stood at its heart since 1886, Kensington Olympia is known by the locals as an epicentre of art, culture and innovation.
‍
Many may come to the area in pursuit of the local exhibition halls' iconic events but you’ll find there’s much more to discover than initially meets the eye.

Originally built on the site of an 18th-century vineyard (which rumour has it produced a decent burgundy) the area’s tradition of producing iconic eats continues with its diverse selection of global cuisines and eateries that reflect its growing community. From bistros and curry houses to the quintessentially British ‘pub grub’ and a weekly farmers market, whether you want to stay in or head out, you’ll find the perfect option.

You’ll also find “food for the mind” here, too. Take a stroll through Brook Green Park, lose a few hours exploring The Design Museum or discover where “the riches of ages are stowed” at Portobello Market. Whether you’re seeking culture or community, you’re likely to find the perfect balance in this West London gem.
