The Millennium Dome is the largest of its type in the world. The concept of the exhibition arena opened to the public on the 1st of January 2000 (hence the name) and is located on the Greenwich Peninsula.

In its early career the dome was classed as a flop by the press and general public because a use for it could not be found after the millennium. It took until 2005 when the dome was rebadged the O2 arena that a useful purpose could be found for it. It underwent extensive redevelopment into an indoor arena and exhibition space and was opened to the public on the 24th of July 2007 with a concert performed by rock band Bon Jovi.
