History of The O2

The Millennium Dome, frequently referred to simply as The Dome, is the original name of a great dome-shaped building, in the first place used to house the Millennium Experience, a leading exhibition celebrating the commencement of the third millennium. Placed on the Greenwich Peninsula in South-East London, the exhibition opened to the populace on 1st January 2000 and ran until 31st December 2000. The project and exhibition was the study of considerable political contention because it failed to pull in the amount of visitors expected, leading to continual financial troubles.

Although all of the original exhibition and associated complex has since been dismantled, the canopy or shell of the dome still exists, and it is now a central outside characteristic of the The O2 entertainment district.

Building of the arena began in 2003 and completed in 2007. Due to the impossibility of employing cranes inside the dome structure the arena's roof was built on the ground within the dome and then raised. The arena building's construction was then built around the roof. The arena construction, which homes the arena and the arena concourse, is separate from all other constructions in The O2 and homes all the arena's facilities. The arena building takes up 40% of the total dome structure.

The O2 is a prominent entertainment zone including an interior arena, a music club, a cinema, an exhibition space, piazzas and bars and restaurants, built within a spacious dome-shaped building (formerly the Millennium Dome), on the Greenwich peninsula in South-East London. With a capacity of over 20,000, dependent on the event, it is one of the largest indoor arenas in Europe.
