BACKGROUND
The world famous Dome project was conceived by the UK government as Festival of Britain style showcase to celebrate the third millennium. In June 2007 the dome was rebranded as the O2 arena with a highly publicised transition into an entertainment centre including an indoor arena, a music club, a cinema, an exhibition space and bars and restaurants. The arena is a 23,000 capacity venue.
