2965 Parking near La Dolce Vita exhibition

Parking anywhere near to Olympia is a nightmare even when there are no exhibitions.. and expensive. Take the tube.

I used to live up the road from Olympia, in Holland Park. Go by tube. Parking is a nightmare in the area & Holland Park is out because of the huge parking charges. Go to High St Ken, Hammersmith or Shepherds Bush & take a bus. 49 from High St or Shepherds Bush 9 10 27 28 from Hammersmith.

Enjoy & look out

You're faster off the mark, but just look at my detail, not surprising, coming from a tourist guide who only left the area just over a year ago...[/QUOTE]
Ah.. but Lav.. it's not about speed..

Aliena gave the relevant information.. BUDmouth boy.. didn't ask for bus routes! :D :D

Fancy a walk from High St Ken or Hammersmith to Olympia, before a couple of hours in the exhibition? That's masacism!!!!!

Guides know best.

[QUOTE=budmouthboy]Sorry to interupt your flow guys, but I just wanted to ask something entirely unrelated to the LF subject ! As regards La Dolce Vita show, is there anyone who went last year and tried parking at Olympia? If so was it a nightmare, would we be better getting the tube in? Anyone?[/QUOTE]

Hi there,

Moved your query to where more people might spot it... hope it helps! :)

Lav..

Why would anyone have to walk from High Street Kensington or Hammersmith Tube stations to Olympia when they can get off at Kensington (Olympia) station itself? This station is opposite the Exhibition centre and runs frequent services at peak exhibition times.. a 3 or 4 minute walk at most!!

Failing that, if anyone feels like a bit of a wander around the more salubrious areas.. they could alight at Earls Court station.. walk up Earls Court Road.. left onto and across Cromwell Road.. then turn right onto Warwick Road and the Exhibition is almost opposite.. about a 15 minute interesting walk

Or.. even closer than Earls Court is get off at West Kensington and walk up North End Road and turn right onto Hammersmith Road/Kensington for a hundred yards and again.. the Exhibition is almost opposite.. less than a 10 minute boring walk.

Or.. for something really exciting and interesting.. Aliena could drop them off at the door by using the space ship!

Seems to me.. Aliena knows best!! :D :D

Am I getting this right? If it's an Italian lifesyle show, why have the organisers not had a word with the local vultures (sorry, "parking enforcement cost centres"!) to adopt the Italian parking principles?

Surely one can dump the car anywhere as long as it's not straight & doesn't cause too may problems; so it's all go for double parking, parking in the middle of the road parking & parking "on the squinty"

Right, I get the message, forget the car! Thanks for the input.

By the way, It's BUDmouth, haven't you read Thomas Hardy?...........you have heard of Thomas Hardy?...............haven't you?:rolleyes:

So you're from Weymouth, dorsetboy?
And here was me thinking you simply had a fondness for American beer! ;)

Ah, someone's on the ball! Yep, Weymouth born and bred, however, to be absolutely precise it's BudmouthGIRL but, hey, what's a chromosone between friends? My other half actually registered us on this forum initially but he seems to be too busy these days doing other things. I've obviously got too much time on my hands!
