I will offer some advise here, I have previously exhibited at Olympia 
and the off road parking is not cheap and you often need a parking permit.

I often arrived at kensington tubes and walked up to Olympia about 10 
mins or so and quite pleasant.

Food and drink is expensive and mostly pret or costa.

Tempreture in the halls is usually fairly variable, unless they improved 
the aircon.

Hope thats useful.
