The O2 (formerly known as the <a href="Millennium_Dome" title="Millennium Dome">Millennium Dome</a>) is a large entertainment district on the <a href="Greenwich_Peninsula" title="Greenwich Peninsula">Greenwich Peninsula</a> in South East London, England, including an <a href="Indoor_arena" class="mw-redirect" title="Indoor arena">indoor arena</a>, a music club, a <a href="Cineworld" title="Cineworld">Cineworld</a> cinema, an exhibition space, <a href="Town_square" title="Town square">piazzas</a>, bars, restaurants, and a guided tour to the top of the O2. It was built largely within the former <a href="Millennium_Dome" title="Millennium Dome">Millennium Dome</a>, 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 <a href="The_O2_Arena" title="The O2 Arena">The O2 Arena</a>, but that name properly refers to the indoor arena within The O2. Naming rights to the district were purchased by the mobile telephone provider <a href="O2_(UK)" title="O2 (UK)">O2</a> from its developers, <a href="Anschutz_Entertainment_Group" title="Anschutz Entertainment Group">Anschutz Entertainment Group</a> (AEG), during the development of the district. AEG owns the long-term lease on the O2 Arena and surrounding leisure space.

From the closure of the original <a href="Millennium_Experience" class="mw-redirect" title="Millennium Experience">Millennium Experience</a> exhibition occupying the site, several ways of reusing the Millennium Dome's shell were proposed and then rejected. The renaming of the Dome in 2005 gave publicity to its transition into an entertainment district. The Dome's shell remained in situ, but its interior and the area around <a href="North_Greenwich_tube_station" title="North Greenwich tube station">North Greenwich Station</a>, the QE2 pier and the main entrance area were completely redeveloped.

The area is served by North Greenwich tube station on the <a href="Jubilee_line" title="Jubilee line">Jubilee line</a>, which was opened just before the millennium exhibition, and by <a href="London_Buses" title="London Buses">bus</a> routes. <a href="Thames_Clippers" title="Thames Clippers">Thames Clippers</a> operate a river boat service for <a href="London_River_Services" title="London River Services">London River Services</a>; the present tenants, AEG, purchased Thames Clippers in order to provide river links between <a href="Central_London" title="Central London">central London</a> and The O2. As well as a commuter service, Thames Clippers operates the <a href="Thames_Clippers#The_O2_Express" title="Thames Clippers">O2 Express</a> service. Local buses also serve the station and the nearby O2.

On 23 February 2017, O2 announced that they had agreed to a deal with AEG to maintain the naming rights of The O2 for a further 10 years until 2027.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a>

The dome-shaped structure, which now houses The O2's Entertainment Avenue and <a href="The_O2_Arena" title="The O2 Arena">arena</a>, was originally constructed as the <a href="Millennium_Dome" title="Millennium Dome">Millennium Dome</a> and housed the Millennium Experience, a major exhibition to celebrate the start of the third millennium. The exhibition opened to the public on 1 January 2000 and ran until 31 December 2000;<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> however, the project and exhibition was the subject of considerable political controversy<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-BBCNewswhiteelephant-6">[6]</a> and it did not attract the number of visitors anticipated,<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> leading to recurring financial problems.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a>

On 18 February 2022, due to <a href="Storm_Eunice" title="Storm Eunice">Storm Eunice</a>, the tent of The O2 was damaged, with the fibre-glass canopy covering the roof being partially torn off by high winds of up to 100 mph (160 km/h) in London.<a href="#cite_note-StormEuniceITV-9">[9]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background_to_development">Background to development</h2></div>

In December 2001, the government announced that Meridian Delta had been chosen to develop the Dome as a sports and entertainment centre. Meridian Delta, a subsidiary of <a href="Quintain_(company)" title="Quintain (company)">Quintain</a> and <a href="Lendlease" title="Lendlease">Lendlease</a>, signed a 999-year lease for the Dome with the government and <a href="English_Partnerships" title="English Partnerships">English Partnerships</a>, a UK governmental body for national regeneration which was assigned the regeneration of the Greenwich Peninsula.<a href="#cite_note-independent2012-10">[10]</a>

The Dome was sub-leased to <a href="Anschutz_Entertainment_Group" title="Anschutz Entertainment Group">Anschutz Entertainment Group</a> (AEG) for 58 years. AEG would develop and operate The O2 during the length of the lease, while the government was entitled to a 15% share of profits for 25 years.<a href="#cite_note-standard2018-11">[11]</a> The O2 was developed inside the Dome structure by AEG to a design by <a href="Populous_(architects)" class="mw-redirect" title="Populous (architects)">Populous</a> and <a href="Buro_Happold" title="Buro Happold">Buro Happold</a> at a cost of £350 million.<a href="#cite_note-independent2012-10">[10]</a>

In 2008, the functions of English Partnerships were transferred to the <a href="Homes_England" title="Homes England">Homes & Communities Agency</a>, and in 2009, Quintain and Lend Lease sold their interest in Meridian Delta to <a href="Trinity_College%2C_Cambridge" title="Trinity College, Cambridge">Trinity College, Cambridge</a> for £24 million.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a>

As part of the investment programme, naming rights were sold to <a href="O2_(brand)" title="O2 (brand)">O2</a>; 'The O2' became the project's official name on 25 May 2005.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> In 2017, O2's name sponsorship was extended for a further ten years.<a href="#cite_note-standard2018-11">[11]</a> The £6 million per year deal between O2 and AEG included priority tickets and reserved VIP accommodation for O2 mobile customers.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> The service was also made available to premium ticket holders. O2 started talks with AEG in 2005 to have its logo and branding placed on the roof of the dome,<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> but this did not take place.

AEG have stated that they wish to abolish the 'Dome' name due to its reputation as a failed project, being tagged as 'The <a href="White_elephant" title="White elephant">White Elephant</a>.'<a href="#cite_note-BBCNewswhiteelephant-6">[6]</a> Since its opening, there have been signs of the press and public calling it The O2.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-O2Independent-19">[19]</a> It is currently the largest entertainment district in London.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> To mark its opening, AEG spent £6.5 million on a mass advertising campaign, led by <a href="Chime_Communications_Limited" title="Chime Communications Limited">VCCP</a>, throughout Europe to promote The O2.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Construction">Construction</h3></div>

The development took place in the form of new buildings being built inside the dome structure. The dome structure was not changed as part of the construction with the exception of blue lights being added to the support poles and plasma displays being added to some of the large sculptures around the dome. Construction started with the arena roof, which was built on the ground and then raised, as cranes could not be used in the dome structure. The construction then moved on to the arena building itself and the entertainment avenue around the arena building. A wide pathway between North Greenwich station and The O2 was also built, as well as the Peninsula Square piazza in front of the dome for special events. A glass roof was built over part of the pathway so that people can walk from the station to The O2 without getting wet in rain. A covered path was also built between the QE2 Pier and The O2's main entrance. <a href="Buro_Happold" title="Buro Happold">Buro Happold</a> provided structural engineering for the project. The main civil engineering and construction contract for the development was awarded to <a href="Sir_Robert_McAlpine" title="Sir Robert McAlpine">Sir Robert McAlpine</a>.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> <a href="Severfield" title="Severfield">Watson Steel Structures</a> provided engineering for the 4,500 tonne arena roof.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> M-E Engineers were the building services engineers for the project. T. Clarke were the electrical contractors.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a>

OR Consulting engineers set up a few interactive exhibitions within The O2.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-autogenerated6-26">[26]</a> Keller Ground engineering prepared the ground for construction. Special ground preparation was necessary due to the contaminated soils from the industrial works which existed at the site before the dome. Catalytic converters were also installed within the dome to prevent toxic gases due to the dome structure being left in place. The plant cylinders, containing services equipment, and some piles used for the original dome, were reused.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Financial consulting was provided by WT Partnership and EC Harris.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated6-26">[26]</a> The Waterfront partnership provided legal support for the development and continues to do so for The O2.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated4-28">[28]</a> Kerzner International helped with the development of the entertainment venues.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-29">[29]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Super_casino_proposals">Super casino proposals</h3></div>

Anschutz planned to build a <a href="Super_casino" class="mw-redirect" title="Super casino">super casino</a> as one of the attractions, which would lead to further development of the area. The casino was to be developed and operated by Kerzner International.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-29">[29]</a> The association of the British <a href="Deputy_Prime_Minister" class="mw-redirect" title="Deputy Prime Minister">Deputy Prime Minister</a>, <a href="John_Prescott" title="John Prescott">John Prescott</a>, with <a href="Philip_Anschutz" title="Philip Anschutz">Philip Anschutz</a>, head of the entertainment group, gave rise to political controversy, with allegations that Prescott may have used undue influence to support Anschutz's casino licence bid. Prescott had met Anschutz on several occasions and stayed in his ranch for a few days.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> In August 2006, it was reported that construction of the shell of The O2's casino site had already started.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> In January 2007 the single trial licence for a British super casino was granted to <a href="Manchester" title="Manchester">Manchester</a>. Consequently, AEG announced that the casino would not be built in the near future, and that there would not be enough investment for a high-rise hotel, designed by Richard Rogers, as well as a theatre, a cable car from Canary Wharf and an extended development that was planned adjacent to the dome.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-29">[29]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Outlet_Shopping">Outlet Shopping</h3></div>

In late 2018, AEG, in association with property firm Crosstree Real Estate Partners, opened a premium retail outlet at the O2, called the Icon Outlet. The centre, which 'completes the loop' at the venue, is set over 210,000 sq.feet and takes up a section of the O2 that was previously intended to house a supercasino.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a>

The new shopping centre opened its doors in October 2018 with thirty stores, however, that number has since increased to over 60. Brands at the Icon Outlet include <a href="Levi_Strauss_%26_Co." title="Levi Strauss & Co.">Levi's</a>, <a href="Ted_Baker" title="Ted Baker">Ted Baker</a>, <a href="Asics" title="Asics">Asics</a>, <a href="Hotel_Chocolat" title="Hotel Chocolat">Hotel Chocolat</a>, <a href="Adidas" title="Adidas">Adidas</a>, <a href="Nike_Inc" class="mw-redirect" title="Nike Inc">Nike</a>, <a href="Hackett_London" class="mw-redirect" title="Hackett London">Hackett</a>, <a href="Superdry" title="Superdry">Superdry</a>, <a href="Clarins" title="Clarins">Clarins</a>, <a href="Tommy_Hilfiger" title="Tommy Hilfiger">Tommy Hilfiger</a>, <a href="Skechers" title="Skechers">Skechers</a> and <a href="Jack_Wills" title="Jack Wills">Jack Wills</a>. The venue also includes a cafe (Cloud Nine), a store that organises sample sales (Showcase.co.)<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a>

In August 2023 the Icon name was dropped, with the shopping centre now known as Outlet Shopping at The O2.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Potential_developments">Potential developments</h3></div>

In late 2007 marine engineering consultancy Beckett Rankine was appointed to investigate the possibility of a cruise ship terminal being built.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a>

In 2012 it was reported that the O2 would be sold by its owners AEG, as part of the disposal of the entire company's assets, rumoured to be valued around $7 billion.<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Opening">Opening</h2></div>

The venue, rebranded The O2, was reopened to the public on 24 June 2007 with a concert by <a href="Bon_Jovi" title="Bon Jovi">Bon Jovi</a> in the arena. The O2 celebrated its first year with a book, including a double page picture of Elton John from his September 2007 Red Piano show.<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a>

Prior to this reopening, other events took place, including a soft opening for residents of the area to explore the entertainment district and an opening for staff called "The O2 Premiere" which featured <a href="Peter_Kay" title="Peter Kay">Peter Kay</a>, <a href="Tom_Jones_(singer)" title="Tom Jones (singer)">Tom Jones</a>, <a href="Kaiser_Chiefs" title="Kaiser Chiefs">Kaiser Chiefs</a> and <a href="Basement_Jaxx" title="Basement Jaxx">Basement Jaxx</a>. An event called "Out of the Blue" featuring circus acts also took place on the day of the public opening, as part of the Greenwich Festival.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Facilities">Facilities</h2></div>

Various buildings are housed within the dome structure including an arena, known as <a href="The_O2_Arena" title="The O2 Arena">The O2 Arena</a>, smaller venue Indigo at The O2, Hollywood Bowl, Cineworld, <a href="Virgin_Media" title="Virgin Media">Virgin Media</a> Gamepad and an Entertainment Avenue consisting of various restaurants and bars.<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> A new shopping outlet opened in 2018. Backstage there is also a VIP club lounge, operations rooms, a media centre with high definition facilities and a number of dressing rooms, as well as a VIP entrance/exit for performers.

All the venues in the complex use the latest lighting, sound and security technology, including <a href="RFID" class="mw-redirect" title="RFID">RFID</a> smart card tagging of staff and VIP guests, and digitally managed sound.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> There are four computer server rooms to provide this technology.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a>
