Olympia to be remodelled in Overground property plan
Filed 24/04/08

Transport for London has appointed commercial property consultancy
Lambert Smith Hampton to manage property at stations across the London
Overground network.

The two-year contract makes LSH responsible for providing portfolio
management services across 50 stations on the North London, West
London, Gospel Oak to Barking and the Euston to Watford lines. TfL
intends to spend more than £1.4m over the next four years refurbishing
stations and increasing the number of on-site retailers to bankroll
further investment.

Plans include letting the large existing station building at
Kensington Olympia station to a retailer and constructing new
passenger facilities on a smaller site nearby.

Control of London Overground rail services, formerly branded
Silverlink Metro, was transferred by the government to the Mayor of
London, and hence TfL, in November last year.

Probably best to read the press release TB is repeating:
http://www.lsh.co.uk/pages/news_detail.asp?id=711&q=overground

"New stations are also proposed including one at Kensington and
Olympia, where there are plans to let the existing station let to a
retailer following the development of a new smaller station."

I think they're referring to letting out the land rather than just the
building - which is just a small scruffy single storey concrete thing
isn't it?

FSVO large.

What is currently used as a spacious booking hall is, AIUI, in fact
the old Motorail terminal lounge.

Here's a 'bird's eye view' of the station buildings from Live Search
Maps:
<http://tinyurl.com/5mwrqx>

It's the whole building (collection of buildings) from the bit with
the maroon painted walls right up to the bridge.

This is also interesting, less for the photo and more for the comments
about the "large 'executive' waiting area":
