Olympia Exhibition Centre was an internationally renowned exhibition, conference and events venue in London that originally opened in 1887. Its last art moderne style exterior was built in 1937 and demolished in 2015. Located in Earl's Court within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea it was the largest such venue within central London. The founder was John R. Whitley and the first exhibition included performances by Buffalo Bill Cody as part of the 'American Exhibition'. This was followed by 'Four National Exhibitions', the title of C. Lowe's 1892 book about Earls Court and its founder.
