    The place is amazing, although I haven't been at an any concert, but I felt the atmosphere. Definitely, I would like to come next time when any of my favourite bands will be giving a concert

    Majority of restaurants in "The Avenue" don't accept bookings on event days, so arrive early to avoid disappointment, then go do something afterwards: Up at the O2, bowling, cinema, cable car nearby.

    London's premier live stage, and the world's most popular arena in terms of annual attendance. This place has so much going on besides the arena (shops, restaurants, nightclubs), its like Disney World

    It's the 02. An iconic entertainment venue of London. There's plenty to see and do here. You can also travel from the tube, Thames Clipper of driving.

    if you're going for a concert, bring food with you to eat in the queue, or come early, because though there are a lot of restaurants, they will be packed, and you don't want to be late in!

    Be sure to book a hotel near by if visiting for a gig. Public transport is a nightmare afterwards. Big shopping centre with a variety of shops and restaurants too

    The venue itself has the same great qualities as all the other O2s over Europe ! Great sound, always with an amazing and loud British crowd !

    Fantastic venue with so much to do whether there for a concert, show or just a meal out. So much variety!! Eat before you go in so you don't get caught by £10 hot dogs!

    Variety of restaurants and cafés in and around are great, nearby car parks are bonus if you drive and it's very close to the tube station if you want to head back to the centre.

    The suite boxes are quite spacious with comfortable seating. Food gets delivered to you so you can enjoy the show without worrying too much. The American Express lounge downstairs is a total rip off.

    Wonderful concert venue. Good visibility from most places in the arena. Lots of restaurant options for a pre-show dinner. Running for the train after a sold out concert - not fun

    Love seeing bands here. It's a smaller venue so better view than Wembley in every seat! Also better seats available directly instead of through ticket companies

    If you fancy a bit to eat there are some forgotten restaurants further around the plaza with shorter queues on event day! Go and check before making your decision.

    The biggest concerts in London happen here (when not in stadiums) lots of great restaurants there so you can go there early and have dinner before the show!

    Great place to see and hear a show - sight lines from Section 112 were amazing. Take the boat to get there and back. Much cooler than the tube!

    I watched Adele Live 2016 here and the place is damn big but there are a lot of facilities and I can conclude that this place is very convinient

    Always eat in the entertainment district before the show. It's busy but better choice of food. Inside it's expensive and not worth the money including the alcohol :)

    I still prefer referring to this as the Millennium Dome, I got to see the Millennium Experience twice - was fantastic, at one point I was surrounded by £1Million in £50 notes.

    Pack lunch if visiting the Olympics. The food is nicer if you make it yourself and you'll still have an arm and leg left finacially - especially if you have kids. Tables outside arena to eat.

    It's the biggest and best arena venue in the UK but you pay well for food and booze once inside. Luckily, there are loads of restaurants in the complex to prepare you for the huge band that awaits. Read more

    Going to see a music band? Eat beforehand or bring some food in as they only sell drinks inside the stage area

    Don't pay £25 for parking you can park in near by streets for free if you are prepared to walk a little. You will also get a quicker getaway at the end

    It's huge!! You can really get lost in there! The only negative part of it is that there is only one location for toilets.

    If you're travelling from West London, get the Thames Clipper along the river - a great way to start your evening. It serves drinks and takes 40minutes to the o2 from Waterloo. Read more
