Have been here for a few gigs and each time it's been excellent. There is parking nearby which costs £7.50 for the day, if you pay when you arrive, compared to when you leave, you'll save yourself about £15. There is lots to do in the O2 as well as concerts. There are 20+ places to eat from fast food to good quality meals at sit down restaurants. There is a good range of outlet shops with good deals. I'd definitely recommend going early if you have an event to attend to walk around.

Went here for the Luke Combs concert. The actual music venue itself is great, brilliant sound quality and atmosphere etc. The venue is let down massively by the lack of toilets, seemingly untrained and not bothered bar staff and security letting people block the stairs down from the seats. The bars outside of the arena are great though.

A great place to visit, not just for the music gigs, but also for shopping, eating, drinking and plenty of alternative forms of entertainment. It's very clean, tidy and spacious. Lots of designer shops here. Well worth a visit.
