Teen Verdict

Honor

I’ve only ever been to the O2 for live events but I can see how it would be a good spot to spend the day with some friends. Whenever I’ve been there’s a really good choice of places to eat and I know there’s a cinema there. I’d probably say that it’s only a good spot to hang out if you’re fairly local or specifically want to go and explore the O2. Otherwise, you could just go to your local shopping mall.

  • There’s usually something going on here in the school holidays and it’s usually free.
  • Every afternoon you can go behind the scenes at Sky Studios and try reading the news.
  • There are lots of restaurants and most are family-friendly.
  • Over 10s will love Up at The O2 when you get to climb over the roof. It’s very safe but you do need to be quite strong to pull yourself along as you climb.
