Your comments and questions
Robin Wild From Kensington Olympia can I get a bus going near to V&A in Cromwell Road.
Staff Hi Robin. You can get the 10, 27 or 28 to High Street Kensington, and then change to the 29 to South Kensington station, which is a 5-min walk from the V&A
Deborah Lister How do I get from Tonbridge to olimpa
Staff Hi Deborah. You’ll have to get a train into charing cross, then I would walk to Embankment station which is just a couple of minutes away, then get the District line to Kensington Olympia. But it doesnt run to Kensington Olympia every day, so you’d have to check the date.
Mikky Is it possible to travel from Kensington Olympia on the green tube line on week day ? If not, how I should travel from Kensington Olympia to South Kensington or to Knightsbridge ? Pls advise.
Staff Hi Mikky. Not normally, no. It only runs at the weekend and some public holidays. The London Overground line is no good for you either, so if it was me id probably walk down to Earls Court and catch it there. its only about 20 mins.
