The O2 offers a world of entertainment under one roof.
The centrepiece of The O2 is the 20,000 capacity arena. It provides London with the first purpose built music venue since the Royal Albert Hall was built in 1837. The O2 arena is designed specifically for music events whilst retaining all the functionality to transform it into an indoor sports facility within hours, meaning it can accommodate a wide range of sports and entertainment events.
The acoustic features are designed to provide a balanced sound, achieved by treating the entire underside of the roof, the upper walls, balcony fronts and seats to absorb sound and reduce the risk of any echoes or unwanted audio reflections. These features are the most up to date and advanced of any venue in Europe.
Occupying 60 per cent of The O2‘s floor-space, the Entertainment District surrounds The O2 arena.
The district’s main elements are as follows:
Operated by AEG Live, the Indigo Music Club has a capacity of 2,200. Containing both a standing area and amphitheatre seating, the club provides a fantastic opportunity to showcase both established artists and emerging talent.
Constructed over two floors, this deluxe 11-screen cinema, including a premiere screen, is designed to accommodate lavish premiere and gala events, and offers a range of films from major Hollywood blockbusters to art-house and niche genres.
The entertainment district comprises over twenty bars, restaurants and other leisure facilities, with 80% of the space now secured to tenants ranging from high street to high end bars and restaurants.
This is the exhibition centre which is arranged on two levels, covering over 6500 square metres. Planned to museum standards, it is currently hosting the Tutankhamun exhibition before the celebrated treasures return permanently to Egypt.
The O2 Bubble will continue to be a cultural hub where we will continue to house an eclectic and unique mix of display and themeed exhibitions throughout the year.
