Theater
The O2
Peninsula Square, London SE10 0DX, UK
Iconic domed arena on the Thames hosting world-class concerts and events for up to twenty thousand.
The O2 in London opened as the Millennium Dome, unveiled by the Queen on the last night of 1999 as Britain's costly, contested gift to the future that drew barely half its promised visitors. The guide turns to a morning in November 2000, when a gang drove a JCB digger through the perimeter fence aiming for a De Beers diamond exhibition and its flawless, 203-carat centerpiece. Listen for how close London came to the largest jewel theft in its history.
