2 Olympia 2015: An exciting new chapter

3 Hello and welcome to an exciting new chapter in The London Book Fair s development, our move to the new-look Olympia. This iconic building is a London landmark and well-known to many of those of us who have enjoyed a long relationship with The London Book Fair. That said, the Olympia of today is very different from the Olympia we left in It is bigger, lighter and enjoys much greater connectivity among the halls, conference centre and gallerias. We hope that all our exhibitors and visitors will be happy in this newly refurbished West London home. The area around Olympia boasts many restaurants, hotels, bars and shopping, many of these amenities are already familiar to our exhibitors and visitors through their experience at Earls Court. Far from taking anything for granted, however, we will be updating everyone on places new and old in the Olympia environs throughout the year. In this brochure we outline the floor plan for Olympia but look forward to building on this introduction and taking you through the vision for The London Book Fair at Olympia, and how we can work with you to ensure that your experience is both beneficial and enjoyable. May I wish you a warm welcome to Olympia, our new West London home. Jacks Thomas Director The London Book Fair 2015 Olympia London April 2015
