Let’s get one thing straight: the O2 Arena is not actually in the middle of London. It’s not in Mayfair, and it’s definitely not next to Buckingham Palace. It’s in a place called Greenwich, which is technically its own little world on the River Thames.
Greenwich is famous for time, which is hilariously relevant because you will spend hours trying to get there. The O2 itself used to be the Millennium Dome, a giant white tent that everyone hated until they filled it with concerts and a shopping mall. Now it’s basically a gigantic, glowing golf ball that aliens might mistake for a landing pad.
If you’ve ever wondered where the Prime Meridian lives, it’s right there. So you can stand with one foot east and one foot west while cursing the prices of arena nachos. Very on-brand for London.
