the o2
the o2 is a large entertainment district on the greenwich peninsula in south east london, england, including an indoor arena, a music club, a cineworld cinema, an exhibition space, piazzas, bars, and restaurants. it was built largely within the former millennium dome, a large dome-shaped canopy built to house an exhibition celebrating the turn of the third millennium; consequently "the dome" remains a name in common usage for the venue. it is sometimes referred to as the o2 arena, but that name properly refers to a smaller indoor arena within the o2. naming rights to the district were purchased by the mobile telephone provider o2 from its developers, anschutz entertainment group (aeg), during the development of the district. aeg owns the long-term lease on the o2 arena and surrounding leisure space.
