Default Olive tree advice

I'm redoing a bit of may garden and am putting in an Olive tree. Sheltered
SW london, others in the area do fine so long term I'm happy it will be
happy.

But.... is it ok to plant now, or should I wait till spring. I'll be
planting a large specimen '~2m

TIA

I have 3, planted as 2m trees a few autumns ago in *my* sheltered SW London
garden and they've been absolutely fine. And I'm not a great gardener, so
anything that thrives with me is pretty well indestructible. We do have
pretty good drainage, which helps.
