"Olympia is one of London's most distinctive exhibition venues — and after the £1.3 billion redevelopment it is more so than ever. Exhibitors at Olympia need stands that match the venue's premium character. T3's architectural aluminium aesthetic, seamless fabric graphics and integrated lighting do exactly that. The stands look like they belong there."
— Jonathan Evitt, Chairman & Founder, Tecna Display Ltd · Designer of the T3 system since 1981
T3 at Olympia London

West London's Icon.
Reopened. Reimagined.

Olympia London — Hammersmith Road, Kensington, W14 — is one of the UK's most prestigious exhibition venues. Built in 1886 and Grade II listed, its Victorian cast-iron and glass architecture gives exhibitions here a gravitas that modern purpose-built halls simply cannot replicate.

In June 2026, after six years and £1.3 billion, Olympia reopened as a fully transformed events district. T3 Systems delivers modular exhibition stands to all three Olympia halls, direct from our Harlow factory. Every stand is custom designed to your brief, assembled tool-free in 2–4 hours and fully reusable at every future Olympia show. Whether you need a compact shell scheme upgrade or a full bespoke exhibition stand.

★ What The Reopening Means For Exhibitors

Olympia reopened in June 2026 after the largest investment in its history. The estate now runs alongside the British Airways ARC, a 3,800-capacity live venue, the new Hyatt Regency London Olympia, and a growing collection of restaurants and bars — with the 1,575-seat British Airways Theatre and a new International Convention Centre still to come.

The projection is roughly 800 events a year and around 3.5 million visitors once fully operational.

For exhibitors, that means a bigger, broader, more competitive audience than Olympia has ever had. Your stand is no longer only competing with the hall — it is competing with a whole entertainment district. Getting it right here matters more than it used to.

The Olympia Advantage

We Live Round
The Corner.

Most exhibition stand contractors serving Olympia are driving in from out of town. A lot of our team lives in West London — which changes what happens when something goes wrong.

A graphic panel damaged in transit. A last-minute layout change the organiser has sprung on you. A client who decides on the morning of the show that the counter is in the wrong place. At most venues that is a phone call and a long wait. At Olympia, it is a short journey.

We can be on your stand in minutes, not hours. On a two-day show with a tight build window, that is not a nice-to-have. It is the difference between a problem and a disaster.

Olympia's Exhibition Halls

Three Halls.
T3 Delivers to All of Them.

Each Olympia hall has different dimensions, ceiling heights and access requirements. Our team has worked all three — every stand design is produced with venue compliance built in, from a shell scheme upgrade to a large island exhibition stand.

Grand Hall

Olympia's largest and most striking space — Victorian iron and glass with soaring ceiling height. Home to London Book Fair, Grand Designs Live and the major consumer shows. Stands here need to work from height and distance, which is where backlit LED and full-height SEG graphics earn their keep.

National Hall

Olympia's flexible mid-size hall, used for specialist trade shows and B2B exhibitions. Lower ceiling than the Grand, and build windows are often tight — which is exactly where tool-free assembly in 2–4 hours makes the difference.

Empire Hall

Olympia's most intimate hall — boutique trade shows, specialist exhibitions and premium brand environments. Close quarters means detail matters, and T3's custom curves and angles perform especially well here.

See It Built

A Full Stand, Built.
Tool-Free, On The Floor.

A T3 stand going together, sped up. No power tools, no specialist contractors, no fabrication on site. Olympia's National and Empire halls in particular have tight build windows — this is why tool-free matters there.

Why T3 at Olympia

Why T3 Stands Work
Especially Well at Olympia.

Minutes Away, Not Hours

Much of our team lives in West London. When something needs fixing during build or show days, we are close enough to actually turn up — not stuck on the M4 promising to be there tomorrow.

Matches Olympia's Character

Olympia's Victorian ironwork sets a premium tone. T3's clean aluminium profiles, seamless SEG graphics and architectural curves sit naturally in that setting — modern without fighting the building.

Tool-Free in 2–4 Hours

Olympia build windows are frequently tight, particularly in the National and Empire halls. Twist & Lock assembly needs no tools and no contractors. How it works →

Reconfigures Across All Three Halls

Olympia's halls have different dimensions. A T3 stand reconfigures for Grand, National or Empire using the same structural components. Store between shows at Harlow. Reusable stands →

Integrated LED, No External Hire

T3 Wandlight integrates directly into the frame — no external lighting hire, no rigging, no electrician. The Grand Hall in particular rewards a properly lit stand.

Manufacturer, Not Middleman

Most Olympia stand contractors are resellers. We design, patent and build the system ourselves in Harlow — so there is no contractor margin, and no third party to chase when something changes. How we work →

FAQ

Exhibition Stands Olympia London —
Common Questions.

Does T3 deliver exhibition stands to Olympia London?
Yes — T3 Systems delivers modular exhibition stands to all three Olympia halls (Grand, National and Empire) direct from our Harlow, Essex factory. Much of our team is West London based, so on-site support during build and show days is fast. Every format from a shell scheme upgrade to a large island exhibition stand is available. Contact us with your Olympia show details →
Has Olympia London reopened after the redevelopment?
Yes. Olympia reopened in June 2026 following a six-year, £1.3 billion transformation of the Grade II-listed estate. Alongside the exhibition halls, the site now includes the British Airways ARC (a 3,800-capacity live venue), the Hyatt Regency London Olympia and a range of new restaurants and bars, with a 1,575-seat theatre and an International Convention Centre still to follow. The estate is projected to host around 800 events a year.
How does the reopening affect exhibitors?
It raises the bar. Olympia is drawing a broader, higher-profile audience and a busier events programme, which means more competition for attention on the show floor. A stand that would have been adequate five years ago may not be now. Our free 24-hour design service means you can respond quickly to a brief and see options before committing.
How quickly can T3 get to my stand at Olympia if something goes wrong?
Quickly — that is the point of having a West London team. If a graphic is damaged, a layout changes or something needs adjusting during build or show days, we are minutes away rather than driving in from out of town. Replacement components can usually reach you the same day.
Can I use the same stand at different Olympia halls?
Yes — T3 stands reconfigure for any floor size and layout. The same structural components that work in the Empire Hall reconfigure for the National or Grand at a different show, with graphics updated independently. Reusable stands →  Stand storage →
Can I hire an exhibition stand at Olympia rather than buy?
Yes — T3Xtra provides custom exhibition stand hire at Olympia. Custom designed to your brief, installed before the show opens, collected after. From £1,000 per show for a shell scheme package. No capital outlay, no storage. See our hire vs buying guide →
What makes T3 different from other Olympia stand contractors?
Two things. We are the manufacturer, not a reseller — we design, patent and build the system ourselves in Harlow, so there is no contractor margin and no third party to chase. And we are local: much of the team lives in West London, so support at Olympia is measured in minutes. See our main UK exhibition stand builders page.
What other London venues does T3 deliver to?
All of them — ExCeL London, the Business Design Centre (where T3 is a resident supplier with an exclusive eco discount), Alexandra Palace and Olympia. All London venues →
