The Olympia site is undergoing a £1.3 billion redevelopment.
London is home to incredible Italian restaurants. Now, it is set to welcome the United Kingdom's largest Italian restaurant, thanks to Juno in Olympia. Restaurant entrepreneur and founder of D3 Collective, Des Gunewardena, is behind the redevelopment, which will be set in the Grade-II listed building, Pillar Hall.
The Incipio Group is already behind Pergola Brixton, Pergola on the Wharf, The Palm House and The Prince. Now, it will be opening four new venues at Olympia. Upon completion, Juno will be the largest Italian restaurant in the country, and span a whopping 11,000 square feet inside the Olympia National Hall building.
Spanning 15,000 square feet, Arbour will span across two levels and include a range of food concepts, from fried chicken to smash burgers. Lillie's will feature a rooftop space showcasing the best of British food and drink, with an English sparkling wine selection. Wolves of Tokyo will be a restaurant and cocktail bar, and the menu will cover Japanese cuisine.
The £1.3 billion Olympia redevelopment will transform the area in West London and aims to inject £600m into the country's economy. The 14-acre site will include two exhibition venues, two hotels, 550,00 square feet of office space, a 4,000-capacity music arena, a state-of-the-art theatre and more than 30 bars and restaurants.
Des explains, "Olympia is a much-loved British institution, but many people might not have been there for a while. With these plans, that's going to change big time. The new Olympia is going to become a globally recognised entertainment and leisure destination bang in the middle of West London, and we are excited to be a part of it."
Andy O'Sullivan, CEO of Olympia Events, added: "This investment isn't just about bricks and mortar; it's about championing the events sector as a proven economic multiplier. Whether it's global conferences and exhibitions, or breakthrough cultural moments, Olympia will set the stage for innovation, commerce, and creativity to thrive."
