Architecture and Layout
Pros:
"The architecture is futuristic and interesting."
"It's got a huge shopping arcade with lots of great shops, including designer."
"The O2 is literally a shopping centre with an arena in the centre."
"The stadium itself is well laid out and super easy to find your way around."
Cons:
"The architecture is beautiful and so is the inside."
"The O2 building is dirty and unappealing from the outside."
Food and Drink Options
Pros:
"There are plenty of nice places to eat before you enter."
"There are quite a few chain food outlets that are not available in the rest of the UK."
"Had dinner in Las Iguanas beforehand in the complex and the service was fast with delicious food."
"Highly recommended for North Indian food lovers visiting London."
Cons:
"Unfortunately, there aren't any healthier food options."
"The food was okay, not that bad but pretty expensive."
"Drinks prices are above average like any other arena."
"The bars outside of the arena are great though."
Seating and View
Pros:
"Seats are by far the most comfy."
"Despite sitting at the back, the music was loud, and it had an amazing view."
"The higher seats at the back are probably not a good idea if you're afraid of heights as the slope is quite steep and you're really high up."
"Seating arrangement was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of legroom."
Cons:
"One negative side is the seats, those seats we had cost us quite a bit of money however, it was super uncomfortable."
"Seats were not checked so we could have sat in any empty seat."
"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."
Staff and Customer Service
Pros:
"Staff was very helpful and polite."
"There’s always plenty of staff to help should you need it."
"All customer service from staff were top notch and personable."
"Great experience in the o2 arena Residence suite."
Cons:
"The venue is big and looks great however staff aren’t the most friendly of humans."
"The staff at the info desk and guest services were not aware of where to get child wristbands from or if they were available."
"Security is shocking. No search, the metal detectors weren’t even on."
"The biggest let down was the cleanliness of the O2 arena toilets are awful."
Transport and Accessibility
Pros:
"Easy to get to by tube bus or cable car, there’s plenty of parking too, just off the end of the A2."
"We travelled by train and tube and it was easy to get to."
"The O2 Arena's location in London is another advantage."
"The O2 is situated in East London. it is connected with Jubilee Line."
Cons:
"But it’s a little out of town but mainly because the infrastructure for the tube and roads is appalling at kick out time."
"It's an amazing place to visit. There are so many things to do. Clubs, restaurants, bowling, the best big cinema, a nice shopping area (very good discounts), climbing and many more things."
"The exit from the venue wasn’t the best either as we all got shuffled into one exit."
"I will not be coming back. The worst part was the huge tube queues they need to sort out the poor rail links, having to queue for over an hour is a joke."
Shopping and Entertainment Options
Pros:
"The O2 is located in the Millenium dome, now repurposed as a shopping eating and entertainment complex."
"There are ample places to eat and shop but all are slightly heavy on the pocket."
"The O2 Arena in London is an exceptional venue for entertainment."
"With its world-class facilities, it offers an unforgettable experience for visitors."
Cons:
"Still probability one of the best music venues, not so much shopping venue, and not really great for food and drink unless you like a chain restaurant."
"Very well organised, always clean. Visited here several times for concerts and it's always been a great (if somewhat expensive) visit."
"The shopping choices catered to different tastes, and the dining offered a decent range of cuisines."
"However, the overall pricing seemed a tad steep."
