O2 Arena – Dome
The biggest white elephant was transformed into probably the best venue in the country. Capable of transforming from a gig setting into a major sporting arena in a matter of hours, the Dome re-invented itself so successfully that it regularly sells out in minutes, despite holding up to 20,000 seats.
Over 500 toilets, plenty of food and drink outlets, with queues kept to a minimum, the experience can be so painless, it's likely you'll be tempted to visit again soon. Add to that, 360 degree seating, with nothing to impair lines of site, comfy seats and the best state of the art acoustics around, it's hard to imagine why it didn't start its life in this capacity. The River Bus also stops here, so you can cruise out and enjoy the sights en route. Pick up from Embankment, London Eye or Tower Piers (you'll be heading out on the Woolwich service) and takes 45-50 minutes.
