O2 Arena Reviews
Rated out of 5
Loads of restaurants and bars too choose from so you can eat and drink anything you like. Great train link. Our seats were brilliant and the staff were amazing. Can't fault it. The prices of food and drink are very high but you can't of expect that these days.

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.

A nice place to come for a day out or to look around the shops. Loads of shops and all the big brands, plus nice places to eat a cinema, bowling, play area for children, Exhibitions, bars and much more. It is well worth the visit. Even some of the stores there sell things cheaper to normal shops because they are outlets.

This iconic entertainment venue offers a world-class experience with its spacious arena, hosting everything from legendary concerts to exciting sporting events. The architecture is striking, with the famous dome structure visible from miles away, and the interior is just as impressive, accommodating up to 20,000 people while maintaining excellent acoustics and sightlines. Beyond the arena, The O2 boasts a fantastic selection of restaurants, bars, and an immersive cinema, making it a hub for entertainment. For thrill-seekers, the 'Up at The O2' experience offers breathtaking views of London from the rooftop. A must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike!
