Advantages: lots of entertainment venues

Disadvantages: feels empty not alot of people

The O2 arena is the after math of the Millennium Dome, an iconic structure with great shape and form. Is the transformation worthwhile? We shall see...

~~~LOCATION~~~
The O2 arena is a quick few minutes' walk from North Greenwich and is extremely accessible not only by underground but by bus as well.

~~~SERVICES~~~
The O2 uses the space set out already and converts the space into a modern metropolis of cafes, restaurants and other entertainment venues: bars, clubs, discos, concert halls, cinema and more.

It is a "hip" place to go to and very heavily advertised under O2, and with them, you are likely to get free tickets and information about gigs and events before anyone else!

It is a really great place to visit, as they have a range of services to suit a good day out. Personally, the cinema is great as it is big, and you are likely to catch some great movies in 3D there if they don't do it in your local cinema.

Also, many great concerts and gigs are held at the O2, for example, Britney Spear's Circus Tour, and the P!nk Funhouse tour in December this year. If you want to see the biggest names in music, try the O2.

When I went, there was also a Rollerskate Disco, which brought a little bit of retro fun there, which was great!

They have a great range of restaurants, although many are not fast food, so don't expect to see the McDonald's or KFC, they don't have one.

~~~PRICES~~~
Prices in restaurants are generally the same, with the odd few being slightly more expensive due to it being in a central London position.

The cinema is also slightly more expensive, and more so for 3D releases.

Gigs are relative, but at this venue it is quite worth it if it is someone you really want to see!

~~~OVERALL~~~
The conversion from the Millenium Dome to the O2 Arena is a good one, a transformation of space to an entertainment venue that is iconic to London, and shall be for a while. It has great features, venues and holds events to be remembered.

When I went, it was quite isolated not alot of people, perhaps its just spaceous but it was really quite empty! Maybe it was just that one time ...

Hopefully, it will be able to continue to expand and improve the services that exist.

Summary: A good transformation
