O2 Arena Review

This evening I got to have a short, but sweet Salt 'n' Peppa concert. It was great, we were all up on our feet dancing. This was after a really good support Hip+Hop Brass Band! Apparently there's a new curfew or something which was the excuse given for the short concert. A huge shame they didn't start sooner as one more song at least would have been great.....

Don't go now...it's empty like a graveyard.....once all lockdown is lifted ,it's a must go.

Brilliant venue for live music. Plenty of places to eat in and around the O2 before a show. Would highly recommend taking a reusable water bottle as drinks are expensive. Staff were happy to fill our bottles up for free so can't complain. Tube station crowd control was great as well. All in all a great experience

Excellent entertainment centre & loads to do & see in surrounding area

Took my boy to see marvel universe live fantastic day lots of places to eat as well

Brilliant George Ezra concert. Fantastic support band. Great location

My favourite and happy place to be with my loved ones and girls.seeing my favourite bands here.made so many epic memories here that I will cherish and stay with me always

Really good experience! A little pricey but they don't rush you and there's nothing else like it in London. We went the slot before the sunset slot and it was perfect! Sophie was our climb coordinator and she was very energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It's a shame to see everything around it building up, hiding the history of the surrounding Thames but having visited the millennium dome as a child I really enjoyed this.

We're came to the O2 Arena to see Rod Stewart who was fantastic. I love the O2 arena and it is nice to turn up early and grab a bite - the atmosphere is good.

Luxury apartments NOT. Booked bazely street but wasnt located there.told to go elsewhere and was awful and not clean

Id like to thank the welcome security
Id like to thank the welcome security guys especially John who was so kind and went out of his way to provide us with a wheelchair to get our father to our destination, it helped to make our mother and fathers anniversary a bit more special, and he did it in his own time.

It was a nice surprise at how well organised the arena is. We were put into a special o2 customer queue, and went through security extremely quickly. There weren't any queues to get in or out of the car park and we didn't have to wait very long for both food and drinks either. We also got discounts on o2 priority

It is an exceptional rest area for a weekend. There are many bars, pubs, restaurants with different world cuisines, as well as all-in-one restaurants.

What a fantastic experience.Its bloody fantastic lots of eating places,Hollywood ten pin bowling,Cineworld lots of shops.its simply magical. Then just outside you have the amazing emirates Greenwich peninsula cable car ride over the Thames to the royal docks what fantastic views a great day or weekend break to be had. Well worth a visit.

A must place to visit, whether it's attending a concert or the outstanding Cineworld cinema complex, you must go. There are plenty of places in which to eat, nandos, five guys, etc. A new shopping complex has recently been built. 2 minutes walk from the North Greenwich tube station. Highly recommended.

I have been to the venue numerous times and always find it a good place to come and see my favourite bands. Make sure to arrive early as it can sometimes take a whole getting through the security. There are also a lot of other things available, like places to eat, cinema, bowling and a club. Once inside the actual arena, food and drink becomes very pricey.

Always find the O2 quite pleasant to be in. A plethora of eating venues. Can be a bit pricey but it is London. I would give 5 stars but the toilets that are disabled accessible are not on Radar key so they are used and abused somewhat.

Great show from behemoth and slipknot, security staff very friendly had a nice chat.

It's amazing something that looks like a tent can be such an amazing venue! Went for Tame Impala, but the going in and out was well organized, relatively seamless. Great venue overall, plenty of food and drink options too.

just an impressive event location. I went to O2 for the ATP finals. Amazing!

Went to see The Vamps, OK seats, friendly and helpful staff, good concert. Only downside is the ridiculous cost of parking.
New outlet shopping area interesting for a wander.

I always have a good time here. This time I was at the Indigo o2 to see Justin Bieber and it was brilliant, kind staff, good venue, nice evening with Justin Bieber!

The O2 is an iconic venue for a multiple of events, mainly more so for Music but this time around was the ATP Nitto Tennis Finals Seeing the best eight players perform.

An evening game we attended, which saw two of the new up and coming players! Was an excellent match and the setting was brilliant for the Tennis, its a shame there ending it here in London for next year.

If you ever visit, there are plenty of restaurants and places to drink beforehand.

The nearest tube is North Greenwich, which is on the Jubilee Line.

Solid A*****

The O2 is a great venue for all manner of concerts and large events. Easily accessed by the tube and generally not too congested leaving after an event.

The recent addition of the outlet mall and shops is great, especially the addition of a specialty coffee shop (Gentleman's Baristas) is appreciated. I tend to find the restaurants to always be very busy before an event so it's often better to eat beforehand and not rely on eating at the O2.

Beware, if you're going to an event in the O2 Arena, they don't allow any food or drink to be taken in with you, so eat it or leave it at home. This includes drinks and even coffee purchased from places in the Arena before you go through security.

Great venue. Surrounded by many bars and eateries to choose from. Very pricey but to be expected considering the area! Great location very accessible from anywhere in London (It's on the Jubilee Line) and easy access from the DLR

Mamma Mia the party was fantastic. Great night and good food.

Loving the new Icon outlet. Hopefully there will be more shops in 2020. Great selection of restaurants and bars, great venue for gigs. Handy place this side of the river!

First visit, nice selection of restaurants and Starwars!

Done with day with impacable memories in the mall.it got a huge space and can accesiblento wheel chair even.it got many stores insides and even game zone was outstanding.

Great atmosphere. Can walk around and all staff are polite. Makes me feel alot safer with the present security everywhere. Even had a few different people come up to me offering different places to go and try. Genuinely love this place and will go back anytime I need to as its warm, welcoming and genuinely decent.

Large stadium with big name events. The upper tier is very steep. Good variety of snacks and drinks, but a bit pricey.

Awesome atmosphere. Watch Federer v Anderson in the ATP finals

O2 has a lot of variety inside it and can provide differing experiences based on what you do.

You can climb the O2, have a meal in the air outside, go to restaurants inside or go to a cinema. Lots of different things you can do.

First time ever going to the O2 Arena and it was FANTASTIC. Went to the BTS Concert in October 2018 and had a Brilliant Experience. So much to do, lots of places to eat & drink. Security getting into the actual arena was thorough which is as it should be. Despite there being thousands of people there it didn't seem packed. Helpful staff to help find your seats. Food a little expensive but wasn't too worried. Concert was AMAZING. Large screens made it easy to see BTS, as we were very high up. The Sound was INCREDIBLE. Would love to go for another event.

Amazing! There's now a massive mall in the O2! There's always shopping after the show in the arena. Ample of places to eat and chill out.

Love going with my dearest BFF to this amazing place

Had some amazing experience of Disney on ice show here ...
huge place to explore ... kind of managed well but in rush time I guess the arrangements are not that great... rest it s a good visit though ..

Lovely time at the O2 kids enjoyed themselves at @ the cinema and sky studio. Nice walking around looking at the shops

Great venue for any performance. Well worth a visit for the restaurants and shops alone.

Very cool space. Went for the mamma Mia experience but I d go back for the other shops I think.

Great place to be for various types of fun, Cinema, Parties, Gigs, the cable car that crosses the Thames, Restaurants and now to top it off OUTLET STORES!!

Went to see Alice Cooper here and the stranglers

Very high prices for food and drink so best have some elsewhere before - the prices are very high

Premises very large and for me not enjoyable as too impersonal and very limited view - everyone stands so even a seat in a good spot is worthless

May as well get a cheap seat and stand like everyone else

They do attack big names so for that it's good otherwise there are better places to go

plenty of places to eat and drink. Large car park on site. London underground very close by.

Very cool outlet shopping mall. Lots of restaurants and a nice stop for spending time. Needs more seating outside stores. It's a long walk for small kids and elderly etc.

Great Christmas vibes, loads of food and drink outlets

Turned into a nice little shopping experience, the great white elephant lives on.

Great range of shops that kept us busy between sessions. Really enjoyed our time

Absolutely enjoyable experience. The shops could drain your pocket if you are not careful. lol

This was my first time at this venue and it didn't disappoint. Initial thoughts were I was impressed with all the eating places and shopping centre. Then getting into the arena didn't take too long despite the security measures and due to all the escalators getting out was just as easy. Great view from seats in the upper tier, row E. Will definitely return.

Great as always. Nice to be in the Amazon Lounge and away from crowds. Wonderful staff in the lounge, so friendly.

Awesome arena, great using spacer around (cinema, restaurants, cafes and exhibitions)

Lovely big place, lots of shops and eateries and character.

Went to the Brits. Great transport to and from. Plenty of places to eat and drink pre and post shows. Up the stairs as you come in are some fantastic shops. Some nice designer brands.

Great atmosphere and easy location. Something for everyone there. Great shops and restaurants.

The 02 arena in London was fantastic dancing seeing all the artists what a night it's no wonder its ine off the best arenas in the world

Brilliant experience but such a massive place that you end up watching the screens more than the show itself. Also extremely pricey food in the American Express lounge. A rip off.

The O2 is a massive area in London for almost anything good you can think of-- cinema, shopping etal with class & distinction effect!

Such a great venue for live shows, all the obvious facilities and many more easily accessible from the city by tube or bus.

Nice place, I went to john legend's concert it was really amazing experience

Great venue, helpful staff, good view of stage with large screens to ensure everyone gets a good view.

Fantastic sound quality and quite a few drinks and food options just outside the arena. Pop corn was 6-7 pounds for a small sized-portion.
Saw the Alter Bridge performance here in Dec.

Commute back is a bit tough since everyone will try to take the tube from the same station (though it's very well organized) and the number of people might create a jam for Uber pickup.

Pete tong at his finest great venue vefore and after

Architecture is awesome! This place is really well laid out. It has free WiFi, plus a load of shops and restaurants now that the new section has been built. Accessible for all. The main arena is huge, excellent for popular shows, and although this place can get crazy busy, it s never to the extent where you can t move freely. No matter how many people come here it just seems to accommodate them! The private O2 bar has a good selection of drinks.

Very good venue place, lots of restaurants, cinema etc.

Went to see take that
Great seats
Easy to get in and out. Clean loos and good staff

Attended for Bjork's Cornucopia tour. Seating was at such an angle it was only possible to see a small part of the performance. Hugely disappointing, particularly as the seats were standard (high) price with no advice that they were heavily obscured. Everyone around us were similarly frustrated. The area should not have been sold given the staging arrangement.

Great mall to visit if your are touring like myself

The show was excellent but we were not given enough information about door opening and show start times. There was a lot of hanging around and nowhere to sit.

Had a great time at The O2 for strictly come dancing show. Well worth a visit. Some shows can be pricey.

The security staff are very confused. I drove in and out every day ( skip driver) . And they still don t know what i am doing there :((

Massive place crammed with lower floor full of restaurants, cinema, bowling, bars, tourists roaming. Upper floor full of shops. Cool place to promenade for an afternoon. Emirates Air cable ride minutes away. Nice views. Don't bother to pay both ways. There is an underground station right beside .

The O2 helped me out and gave me advice. Receptionist was very kind and helpful.
The O2 put on various shows in music and dance (etc).
Rail and bus service's near by the theatre.
Always worth a visit.

Review of BOTH the O2 and Arena -

The O2 itself is massive, with a really impressive selection of shops and restaurants. This was my first time visiting. You can definitely tell it's kept clean and security is tight, making the visit easy to enjoy.

Now for the O2 Arena -
Wow. Wow. Wow! I saw my first ever concert here at the weekend by Tame Impala so I can't compare to anything else. But it was astounding. Quick to get in, good selection of snacks (to buy) once inside. I was in block 102. The seats were actually surprisingly really comfortable, though I didn't sit for long. The view was also brilliant. But I think it was the sound and light show that the O2 boasts which made for an absolutely unforgettable experience. I will definitely be going back here again, and I recommend you see for yourself too! Awesome awesome experience!

Great place to visit. Only awarded 4 stars due to lack of consideration to cater for all budget levels. All shops and restaurants are high end, nothing for the real life everyday JAM families like me who scrimped and saved for tickets.....

Lots of places to eat, huge complex with loads to see and walk over the top. Can also try emirates airline(cable car) cheap in price and views are amazing over the river. Can use oyster for paying the ticket.

Because it was comfortable while we watched Michael Buble

Good to visit anytime lots of shops and food outlets

I saw Childish Gambino perform here last week and it was incredible. You have a good view no matter where you sit/stand because they have huge TVs projecting the performance into the room. Really amazing venue.
