OVERGROUND ROUTES FROM MAINLINE STATIONS

Whilst there is a proposed tube strike taking place during the event, please note it is a partial strike and London Underground is still expected to run with a reduced service. Importantly, Olympia is served by the London Overground, which is not affected neither is the DLR, local buses, Network Rail or the Elizabeth Line, so getting to and from the venue should remain straightforward.
