The O2<br />

Since opening in 2007, The O2 has established itself<br />

as the world’s most popular music and entertainment<br />

venue, transforming the then ‘Millennium Dome’ in to<br />

a state of the art concert arena which now welcomes<br />

the biggest names in rock, pop and classical music.<br />

The world’s most<br />

popular music and<br />

entertainment venue<br />

It is the world’s most popular music venue as well as the<br />

second largest in Europe, with a circumference of one<br />

kilometer. The O2 was also an Olympic venue and in 2012<br />

it was transformed into the North Greenwich Arena, holding<br />

the basketball finals and the gymnastics.<br />

The O2 arena has also hosted some of the globe’s biggest<br />

artists from The Rolling Stones to One Direction, as well as<br />

other non-music events such as the Brits, National Television<br />

Awards, NBA’s and the Barclays ATP World Tour Final.<br />

Visit the British Music Experience, an interactive museum<br />

celebrating British music.<br />

The venue hosts a range of high profile exhibitions<br />

throughout the year and visitors can browse the cases of<br />

historical musical items and memorabilia ranging from Ziggy<br />

Stardust’s outfits to The Stone Roses’ record collection.<br />
