Getting to Olympia

Courtesy Buses to and from the PBFA Novotel Fair

Once again, we hope to be running courtesy buses between the Olympia Fair, and the PBFA Novotel Fair in Hammersmith on Friday between 2pm and 7pm and on Saturday 11am to 4pm.  Buses will stop directly outside the front of each entrance. Final details to be confirmed. 

By London Underground

The nearest tube station to the venue is Kensington Olympia on the District line from Earls Court but services on this line may be reduced in 2012.  More details to follow.

Olympia is only a ten minute walk from Barons Court (Piccadilly Line) underground station and a large number of buses run from High Street Kensington (Circle and District Lines.)
