Is This The Fastest Way To Olympia?
The new Olympia Exhibition Centre is difficult to get to. Or it certainly is for me in East London.
I do have a train from my local station at Dalston Kingsland direct to Kensington (Olympia) station.
But as I indicated in Kensington (Olympia) Station – 16th June 2026, Kensington (Olympia) station doesn’t have lifts.
But lifts aren’t needed at Kensington (Olympia) station, if you use the bay platform of the District Line or the Northbound West London Line, as both platforms are level access.
As the District Line only runs occasionally, that’s not much use, but the West London Line has three stations to the South.
- Clapham Junction is good if you’re coming by National Rail, but it doesn’t have an Underground connection.
- Imperial Wharf serves mainly the local housing, but it is only a 250 yard walk to the River bus at Chelsea Harbour Pier.
- West Brompton is an interchange with the District Line with trains to Barking, Edgware Road and Wimbledon.
I wouldn’t be surprised that as more people visit Olympia, they will go via West Brompton.
