Where do Olympia locals go?
The Colton Arms
The Colton Arms is a great pub right next to Queens Club. It has just undergone a major refurbishment and looks so beautiful inside and out. There is a lovely beer garden, a great new chef and a wonderfully friendly team. They also have quiz nights, steak nights, deals on prosecco, brunch and a cracking Sunday roast. I couldn't recommend it more.Read more

Did you know?
"The Shepherds Bush Empire was built in 1903 as a music hall, later becoming the BBC Television Theatre in 1953. It was here that programmes such as 'This is Your Life' and '70s music show 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' were filmed."
Open Monday - Saturday, Shepherd's Bush Market is a hive of activity between Uxbridge Road and Goldhawk Road.

In contrast to the Westfield development, Shepherd's Bush has some lovely period properties.
