Arthur H. Beavan continued his survey of London's entertainment, in Imperial London, published in 1901, with this look at Olympia:

Olympia, next to the Addison Road station, Kensington, is another big example of iron and glass, looking as if the central transept of the Crystal Palace had been transported thither.

At intervals it wakes up from its forlorn and deserted appearance, and blossoms into a gigantic menagerie a la Barnum and Bailey, or into a gorgeous spectacular entertainment of the Imre Kiralfy order.
