O2 Arena

The O2 Arena is perhaps the most happening place in London. It is a fairly large entertainment district in South East London and includes an indoor arena (where large concerts and events are held), an 11 screen multiplex cinema where the main auditorium has 770 seats, an exhibition space, piazzas and over 20 different restaurants and cafes. It is interesting to note that fast food chains were banned from setting up shop at the arena, mostly because they wanted the area to be more like Covent Garden rather than a shopping district.

Celebrity singers such as Taylor Swift, Pink Floyd, Beyonce, The Backstreet Boys and many more have all performed at the venue. There are also plays, dance performances large scale comedy acts hosted here too. Popular reality TV show, The X Factor, is also filmed here.

The Emirates Air Line cable car is just 5 minutes away from the O2 arena and gives you a good bird’s eye view of the facility.
