The O2 is much more than just an arena. There are actually multiple venues located under the huge dome of the O2: indigO2 — an intimate music venue, The O2 bubble — an exhibition space, Entertainment Avenue — an area filled with restaurants and bars which is open day and night, and an impressive 22 screen multiplex theatre.

Entertainment events include concerts, comedy, film, theatre, ice shows, reality TV plus Christmas and New Years Celebrations.

Sporting Events held at the O2 include basketball, boxing, gymnastics, ice hockey, tennis and professional wresting. It was also the venue for Olympic gymnastics and basketball finals during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

With its giant dome and the 11 protruding cranes that support it, the O2 is also a distintive and highly recognizable London landmark.

O2 Arena Reviews

Rated 4.5 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating One London's premier entertainment arenas. Despite the main arena, the building is so much more to offer. There is a selection of restaurants, bars, and a selection of top branded shops to peruse. There is also the opportunity to climb up to the top and take in breathtaking views of London.

5 Star Rating Incredible venue. Excellent staff from O2! Great blue room experience and Magical O2 box suite seats. Views are incredible and the arena is a perfect size, carries great sound and is easy to navigate. Also great shopping and food options around the Arena perimeter Recommended visit 👌

5 Star Rating We recently visited the O2 to watch the Monster Trucks Fire & Glow. We prebooked the parking which was straight forward and is a very reasonable price considering its London. We got straight into the car park & there was plenty of available spaces. It was a short walk to the O2. There were plenty of staff around the O2 guiding you to where you need to go. It is clean and tidy. The whole event was well organised and was a great day out. After the show we took a wander around the O2 and went to the Outlet shopping area. There is a good selection of shops, some with some big discounts! After, for the children, we went to the new climbing walls. This was great fun according to the children. Outside of the arena was a Carousel and some extra food stalls. A great time had by all and would definitely recommend a visit to see a show or just to visit the O2.

4 Star Rating Not five stars for the tiny, narrow seats in the arena not suitable for anyone above a size 12. Honestly I was humbled, so humbled. Went to the O2 for Capitals jingle bell ball, I had an absolute blast! The atmosphere in the area itself was great and even though I thought my seats were miles away from the stage I was actually in a decent location. The staff are lovely and ready to help direct you to anywhere you need in there. The condition of the stadium is good. My beer was £9.80 so not cheap but what did I expect. I got lunch in one of the restaurants and then had a wander before heading into the actual arena. Honestly a really lovely evening.
