A brand new rooftop food market has opened on top of one of west London’s mightiest landmarks

The historic Olympia exhibition centre in West Kensington, London, has commenced a lavish £1.3 billion relaunch, transforming it into a major entertainment and hospitality destination. As part of this extensive redevelopment, a brand new rooftop space has opened, offering a variety of drinking and dining options. This reimagined area features a 3,800-capacity live music venue and several new culinary establishments. Among these are Bar Arriba, a Mexican-styled bar; Wolves of Tokyo, a Japanese cocktail bar; and Lillie’s, which serves English small plates. The centerpiece of the rooftop dining experience is Arbour, a massive 9,000 square foot food hall operating under a vast retractable glass roof. Despite its considerable size, Arbour will host only four distinct dining options, suggesting a curated and potentially high-end selection within the sprawling space.
