North Greenwich Arena

L’O2 è un grande comprensorio per l’intrattenimento situato nella parte Est di Londra che ospita un’arena, un music club, un cinema, uno spazio per le esibizioni, pizzerie, bar e ristoranti. Questa struttura a forma di cupola venne originariamente costruita come "Millennium Dome", ma dopo il 2000 gli interni vennero demoliti ed il nome venne cambiato in "The O2". L’O2 Arena fu costruita dal 2003 al 2007, è situata al centro del "The O2" e fu la prima arena in stile americano a Londra. Con una capacità di circa 20.000 spettatori è una delle più capienti arene indoor in Europa. A causa dell’impossibilità di utilizzare gru all’interno della cupola, il soffitto dell’arena fu costruito sul pavimento del The O2 e poi sollevato. Questa avveniristica costruzione, pur non essendo situata nella parte più centrale di Londra, è comunque servita da una stazione della metropolitana, posta proprio a due passi. L’Arena ospitò nel 2009 i Mondiali di Artistica e a gennaio del 2012 il Test Event qualificante. Ai Giochi ospita anche il Basket Giorni di gara:

Wembley Arena

La Wembley Arena è un'arena multifunzionale, situata a Wembley, Londra; sorge di fronte al Wembley Stadium. È stata costruita per i 1934 Empire Games e in origine c'era una piscina, denominata appunto Empire Pool. La piscina fu usata l'ultima volta in occasione della XIV Olimpiade del 1948. La Wembley Arena può ospitare un massimo, in posti a sedere, di 12.300 persone per i concerti. Ai Giochi Olimpici ospiterà le gare di Ginnastica Ritmica e di Badminton. travel-to-wembley-arena-o.ai 1 18/06/2012 13:27:54
