O2 Arena Reviews
Rated out of 5
A busy bustling place with lots to offer.
From the ability the walk over the top, to restaurants, and a ring of shops inside, most of which are an outlet.
You can walk all the way around the inside as a complete loop.
In the middle is where the functions and concerts are held.
Toilets available.
Security check on entrance of all bags.
Outside there is a market and a large area to take in the atmosphere.. or queue.
An icon of London.
Worth a visit.
Free to enter, unless you're going to a concert of course.

It's such a vibrant place with so much going on! The O2 Arena is like a cultural hotspot in London, always buzzing with energy. From concerts to comedy shows, there's always something fun happening there. Plus, the restaurants and shops around the O2 add to the whole experience, making it a fantastic destination for a day out or a night of entertainment!

Had a great time at The O2! Here's what stood out:
*Highlights:*
* Thrilling Thames Crossing:The London Cable Car provided a fantastic experience crossing the River Thames. It's definitely worth getting the round trip ticket (especially for families) to fully enjoy the views.
* *Spacious Play Area:* The open space in front of the mall was a lifesaver for parents! Kids could play freely without worrying about traffic, giving us some peace of mind.
* *Unique Architecture:* The O2's tent-like structure is truly unique! And the option to walk on the rooftop for panoramic views (for an extra fee) sounds like a must-do for adventurous visitors (be sure to factor in the sunset price increase!).
* *Family-Friendly Atmosphere:* The artistic installations provided great photo opportunities, making it a fun experience for the whole family.
Food:
The food options seemed decent, though not exceptional.
Overall:
We had a great time exploring The O2! It's a great place to combine entertainment, sightseeing, and family fun.
* Consider purchasing tickets for the cable car online in advance, especially during peak season.

This is one of the best venues to watch a live concert. Easy access, decent parking (but £40 on event days!) but extremely well managed with great staff and a wonderful modern clean venue.
Killers and Travis (support) were incredible.
Highly recommend booking tickets for a concert here. Much easier than Wembley

An amazing venue with great sound! Easy streamlined access, good vibes! Went to see 'Jungle' here, one of the best concert experiences
