    It is bloody huge. I had the opportunity to walk around it all a month or so ago and it was amazing. Will be a great venue for everything including gigs, friday/saturday nights out and if yesterday's paper is anything to go by - days at nights at the beach

    At least there is no McDonalds or Burget King to attract the undesirable types. Not exactly destination eating as they claimed but good enough if you want to eat before going to see a concert/event.

    Had a tour a few months back. The boxes were huge and the arena will be a great place to see bands and sport.

    Looks fabulous. whats not inspiring about some of those? Lots of variety and a nightclub to boot.

    All on my doorstep. Wonderful.

    I did the riverfront walk home monday and must say i cant figure it out as it still looks like its a building site. Looking forward to JT on the 5th now.

    LOL that was what the people from AEG said if not quite in those words. They don't see it as a place lots of kids in hoodies will hang out but more somewhere you will go out for a sit down meal

    The only two that stand out are Thai Silk (love the one in Waterloo) and Raan, which looks the nuts.

    Otherwise, sameold sameold, but I can't wait for it to open and see Prince down there

    perhaps may be as im not west end based but i've never heard of Las Iguanas, inc brasserie, jimmy monacos, S and M, Raan or the water margin (whatever that is). thai silk i get delivered to the office so know that one.

    very excited.

    Nor those Bubbles, why can't mobile phone companies just have a picture of a phone? Orange, what the hell, why can't it be called 'phone', and have a brush stroke style logo?

    My 8 year old could have built that venue. FACT

    Looks like a upturned plase with chopsticks sticking out of it. What's that all about? It's ugly and it smells : - )

    Even If I was willing to part with £150 I wouldn't go. One of the all time favorites bands but i thought they were past it when i saw then in 76. I think I would be very let down.

    Henry you wasnt shown around with the other CAFC directors were you ? AEG investment please please

    went to see them last year at twickenham, have been to a few gigs/concerts in my time, but would have to say this was in the top 5 of all time. and i'm not even a big fan of the stones. amazing.

    it did help we were in the front row!

    Yes I was. I tried to do a swap deal of a two seats in the north upper for a box at the O2 but they weren't interested. : - )

    They were showing around directors of lots of local firms, not just Charlton, to sell corporate boxes and seats so no big investment coming our way.

    I guess that is it. Never liked big venues but if you are in the front. I just think I'd be expecting the 1972 stones when Keef looked great and Jagger struting didn't seem so OTT.

    Wow...the S&M bar - perhaps we could have a whip round!

    Free tickets for the "community day" there on 20 June are now open to Greenwich borough residents (apparently addresses will be checked) - use O2 pass code SRLBSG.

    Lucky Soul are due to play this.

    If you have 3 spares I'll buy you a drink for them but if you've already got then earmarked for people then I understand.

    Might treat the wife to Jools Holland at the club thingy for her birthday if I can sort the arrangements.
