Rated out of 5
An amazing venue, staff are very friendly and helpful. It's easy to navigate your way round and full of fun things to do whilst waiting on your show to begin. Lots of lovely eating places and shops to browse in.

As soon as you book your gig. Book your parking or park a subway journey away. It's the worst part of London to get to in the car. Make sure you have plenty of journey time. The venue is surprisingly brilliant. Loads of bars and restaurants. Staff very helpful and patient. We went to watch Peter Kay. He's a comedy genius.

Great venue!
Absolutely huge place but the staff were really nice and efficient.
I especially needed an extra hand due to medical needs and they were so quick to help me and the venue itself was very accessible which is a nice change.
My only issue was the leg space was small, my friend is 6'2 and felt cramped and my injured leg was very sore after being stuck in the same position for 4 hours as there wasn't really any wiggle room and that's seats that were for access people.

The O2 in London is an impressive venue that offers so much more than just concerts. The atmosphere is always electric, and the acoustics make every performance sound incredible. Beyond the music, there's a great selection of restaurants, bars, and even an indoor cinema. For thrill-seekers, the "Up at The O2" experience, where you can climb to the top and take in stunning views of the city, is a must-try. Whether you're there for a show or just to explore, The O2 offers a fantastic experience every time!

A busy bustling place with lots to offer.
From the ability the walk over the top, to restaurants, and a ring of shops inside, most of which are an outlet.
You can walk all the way around the inside as a complete loop.
In the middle is where the functions and concerts are held.
Toilets available.
Security check on entrance of all bags.
Outside there is a market and a large area to take in the atmosphere.. or queue.
An icon of London.
Worth a visit.
Free to enter, unless you're going to a concert of course.
