p:abstract
  • The O2 is a large entertainment district including an indoor arena, a music club, a cinema, an exhibition space, piazzas and bars and restaurants, built within a large dome-shaped building (formerly the Millennium Dome), on the Greenwich peninsula in south-east London, UK. It is often incorrectly referred to as The O2 dome, the O2 Centre (which is actually a shopping centre in Finchley Road) or The O2 arena which is actually the name of the arena in The O2 and a arena in Dublin, Ireland. The name of the Entertainment District officially became The O2, when O2 plc (now Telefónica O2 Europe plc) purchased the naming rights from the developers, Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), during the development of the entertainment district. The dome-shaped building, also referred to as the Dome's canopy, was originally constructed as the Millennium Dome, often simply known as the Dome, and housed the Millennium Experience, a major exhibition celebrating the third Millennium. After the closure of the exhibition on December 31 2000, the interior of the building was demolished leaving only the shell of the Dome. Although AEG has transformed the interior of the Dome's shell and have renamed it The O2, many still refer to it as the Dome. Since the closure of the original exhibition celebrating the millennium, several possible ways of reusing the Dome's shell were proposed and then rejected. The official renaming of the Dome on May 31 2005 gave publicity to its transition into an Entertainment District including an indoor arena, a music club, a cinema, an exhibition space, and bars and restaurants. The interior of the Dome's shell was completely cleared prior to the development and construction of the new facilities. The Dome's shell itself remained in situ but its interior and the area around North Greenwich Station, the QE2 pier and the main entrance area was completely redeveloped. In this role the plan is to host the 2009 World Gymnastics Championships and the artistic gymnastics and basketball events of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, as well as two National Hockey League games and a National Basketball Association game in 2007. The Tennis Masters Cup, which will be renamed to ATP World Tour Finals, is intended to be held in The O2 arena from 2009 to 2012. The area is served by North Greenwich tube station, which was opened just before the millennium exhibition, on the Jubilee Line, and by bus routes. Thames Clipper operate a river boat service for London River Services; the present dome tenants, AEG, purchased Thames Clipper in order to provide river links between Central London and The O2. As well as a commuter service, Thames Clipper also operate a new O2 Express service. (en)
  • The O2 on aiemmin Millennium Domena tunnettu suuri viihdeareena Lontoossa. Rakennus avattiin aiemman nimensä mukaisesti vuosituhannen vaihteessa, jolloin siellä juhlittiin uutta vuosituhatta. The O2 sisältää varsinaisen näytösareenan lisäksi myös muun muassa musiikkiklubin, elokuvateatterin, näyttelytiloja, sekä ravintoloita ja baareja. Nykyisen sponsorin nimellä paikkaa on kutsuttu vuodesta 2005. Rakennuksen sisällä sijaitsee myös The O2 areena, jolla pelattiin NHL:n kauden avausottelut kaudella 2007–2008. Kyseisen areenan katsojakapasiteetti on 20 000. (fi)
  • The O2 è un salone espositivo a forma di cupola, situato a Londra precisamente sulla linea del Meridiano di Greenwich, costruito dal 1997 al 1999 per festeggiare l'arrivo del terzo millennio con una serie di eventi del cosiddetto Millennium Experience, la manifestazione britannica in programma nel corso dell'anno 2000. Precedentemente era noto come Millennium Dome fino al 31 maggio 2005, data dell'acquisizione dei diritti da parte della compagnia telefonica O2 plc, oggi Telefónica O2. (it)
