Name
The station appears in some National Rail maps and timetables as Kensington Olympia. However, on London Underground maps and the London Overground-maintained station signage it appears as Kensington (Olympia). The name Kensington (Olympia) is also used on the latest National Rail "London Connections" map. The variant with brackets is the name given to the station in the London Railway Atlas, published by Ian Allan in 2009. On the dot matrix indicators on District line trains, the station is shown as simply Olympia. Although over-painted, 'Addison Road Station' still appears sculpted into a wall on the eastern pedestrian exit from the station.
