This weekend, The O2 will welcome some of the world’s biggest (both figuratively and literally) basketball players in the world for the 2024 USA Basketball Showcase London, with the US, South Sudanese and German teams playing a series of friendly matchs ahead of competing in the Olympic Games later this summer. As the proud host of these players in London, we wanted to make some ‘modifications’ to our world-famous arena to ensure we could fittingly accommodate the team, working with UK pro basketballer and former Love Islander Ovie Soko to ensure that our new improvements are 'height approved' by a 6”7 player. Check out the below piece from Daily Mirror to learn more 🏀 #TheO2 #Basketball

As part of our commitment to supporting the local community through our Good Vibes All Round programme, we are delighted to be sponsoring the London Fire Brigade Football Team for a second year as the lead shirt sponsor. Last week, Station Officer and Team Manager John Chinnery came to the venue to meet The O2's Adam Pearson & Sarah Allsop to discuss the importance of the football team and the support they receive from local organisations. We wish them all the best for the new season. #GoodVibes #sponsorship #LFB #Football #community #London

Following a monumental six-night residency at The O2, which saw over 105,000 ticket sales, we presented The Killers with a special award from the venue. From an incredible, ever-changing set list, to THAT viral moment when The Killers screened the England win against the Netherlands at the UEFA EURO 2024 and seamlessly transitioned into 'Mr Brightside' - it was certainly a residency to remember.

We are thrilled to be celebrating a successful first half of 2024, with a set of strong sales results and significant levels of leasing activity across our Entertainment District and Outlet Shopping at The O2. Having introduced some great brands so far this year, including Castore, All Good Things, Chopstixs, and Clip 'n Climb to open over the summer, The O2 is off to a successful 2024. We’ve enjoyed impressive growth on last year’s record results, with a 10% sales increase and 15.5% uplift in footfall across the destination as a whole compared to the same period in 2023. These results also coincide with our recent report into consumer behaviours, seeing the emergence of ‘social spending’ at the destination, with this new socialisation behaviour driving incremental spend and highlighting the importance of delivering a 360-degree offer to visitors.

Following the continual growth of our offering across The O2, we have worked with CACI Ltd to identify what drives our strong performance, resulting in what we have termed ‘social spending.’ With a multifaceted offer spanning Outlet Shopping at The O2, as well as F&B and leisure within our Entertainment District, visitors are consistently choosing our destination as the ideal place in which to spend quality time with friends and family, leading to cross-category spending and out-performing multiple UK benchmarks. The term ‘social spending’ reflects this socialisation purpose, a behaviour which we expect to become even more important for destinations in the future.
