Background to development.

Some of the land is already being developed for offices and shops. The David Beckham Academy football school has already been developed on the Greenwich Peninsula. Some of the land around the dome is being reserved for possible extended developments for The O2, including a hotel, although the building of much of the extended development depends on how much investment can be made by AEG (See below section about possible future developments for details). Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, a specialist art & design institution currently located in Chislehurst, is having a new campus built immediately adjacent to The O2. This is due for occupation in September 2010. The development of the whole Greenwich Peninsula area is likely to cost 4 billion pounds.
As part of the investment programme, naming rights were sold to O2 plc; and 'The O2' became the official name of the project on 25 May 2007. The £6 million a year deal between O2 plc and AEG also included priority tickets and reserved VIP accommodation for O2 mobile customers. The service was also made available to premium ticket holders. O2 plc started talks with AEG in 2005 to have its logo and branding placed on the roof of the dome. As of yet, this has not been confirmed. Anschutz Entertainment Group have constantly stated that they wish to abolish its name as 'The Dome' due to its bad reputation as a failed project, being tagged as 'The White Elephant. Since its opening, there have been signs of the press and public calling it The O2. It is currently the largest entertainment district in London. To mark its opening, AEG spent £6.5 million on a mass advertising campaign, led by VCCP, throughout Europe to promote The O2; they are also partnered with and sponsored by ADT, AOL, NEC, Credit Suisse, InBev UK, BMW, Nestle, Pepsi Max and Vivitar.

Background to development

The O2 was developed, inside the dome structure, by Anschutz Entertainment Group to a design by Populous and Buro Happold in a £600 million development.

In December 2001 it was announced that Meridian Delta Ltd had been chosen by the government to develop the Dome structure, originally the Millennium Dome, as a sports and entertainment centre, and to develop housing, shops and offices on 150 acres (0.6 km²) of surrounding land. It is also hoped to relocate some of London's tertiary education establishments to the site. Meridian Delta is backed by the American billionaire Philip Anschutz, who has interests in oil, railways, and telecommunications, as well as a string of sports-related investments.

Meridian Delta, a subsidiary of Quintain Estates and Development and Lend Lease, had signed a 999-year lease for the Dome and its surrounding land with the government and English Partnerships, a UK governmental body for national regeneration which was assigned the regeneration of the Greenwich Peninsula. The Dome site was then sub-leased to Anshutz Entertainment Group (AEG), who strongly support Meridian Delta, for a minimum of 58 years. English Partnerships leased the arena directly to AEG Europe for 58 years. AEG would develop and operate The O2 during the length of the lease agreements. The lease agreements were made in the agreement that the government would get a certain percentage of profits through English Partnerships. English Partnerships and Quintain Estates and Development both own land around The O2 on the Greenwich Peninsula. They will release land in stages, to developers, and develop the area in a joint venture with the aid of Meridian Delta.

The Dome
The dome-shaped building, which now houses The O2's Entertainment Avenue and arena, was originally constructed as the Millennium Dome and housed the Millennium Experience, a major exhibition to celebrate the start of the third millennium. The exhibition opened to the public on 1 January 2000 and ran until 31 December 2000; however, the project and exhibition was the subject of considerable political controversy and it did not attract the number of visitors anticipated, leading to recurring financial problems. In popular usage, the dome canopy is often still called The Dome, reflecting the substantial, and often adverse, publicity given to its building in the late 20th century.

o2 introduction.

It is often confusingly referred to by various names: the O2 Dome; the O2 Centre (the name of a a shopping centre on Finchley Road); or The O2 arena which properly refers to a smaller indoor arena within The O2. Naming rights to the district were purchased by O2 plc (now Telefónica Europe plc) from its developers, Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), during the development of the district.

From the closure of the original "Millennium Experience" exhibition occupying the site, several possible ways of reusing the Millennium Dome's shell were proposed and then rejected. The official renaming of the Dome on 31 May 2008 gave publicity to its transition into an entertainment district. The Dome's shell itself remained in situ but its interior and the area around North Greenwich Station, the QE2 pier and the main entrance area was completely redeveloped.

The area is served by North Greenwich tube station, which was opened just before the millennium exhibition, on the Jubilee Line, and by bus routes. Thames Clippers operate a river boat service for London River Services; the present tenants, AEG, purchased Thames Clippers in order to provide river links between Central London and The O2. As well as a commuter service, Thames Clippers also operates The O2 Express service.

o2 introduction

The O2, visually typeset in branding as The O₂, is a large entertainment district on the Greenwich peninsula in South East London, England, including an indoor arena, a music club, a cinema, an exhibition space, piazzas, bars and restaurants. It was built largely within the former Millennium Dome, a large dome-shaped building built to house an exhibition celebrating the turn of the third millennium; as such, The Dome remains a name in common usage for the venue.

Eddie kadi's progress

Current, relevant, thought provoking yet refreshingly, controversy free, Eddie Kadi has proven himself to be the consummate entertainer. He is generously gifted with the ability to reach across cultures as a unifying force, breaking down social stereotypes as he delights his diverse audiences. Eddie delivers ever fresh, funny yet conscious and poignant insights throughout his work, crafting “…articulate glimpses of reflected observations from the mirror of life that we all instantly recognise, relate and react to in good humour, with a smile or belly laugh thrown in!”

The next decade is looking bright with 2010 shaping up to be his biggest year yet; rising to a crescendo with Eddie Kadi’s inaugural headline arena show at the O2 Arena on September 4th (pre-sale tickets sold out in less than 12 hours with extra allocation needing to be released). Encouraging people to buy tickets by the 10s, Eddie believes that not only is it the best medicine, but laughter is an experience to be shared with family and friends, fronting the “Have you got your 10?” campaign for the show in September.

Not one to rest on his laurels in the meanwhile though, Eddie Kadi will be kept busy with a trip back to the DR Congo in April (his first return since moving to the UK in 1992), a University tour and causing a stir at the Edinburgh Festival, amongst other exciting TV and Radio projects.)

Eddie Kadi was born in the DR Congo in 1983, and, moving to the UK at the age of 8, he grew up in Fulham, West London. A student at the Henry Compton secondary school (famously attended by British Athlete Linford Christie), he moved on to the William Morris Academy for Sixth Form. Head prefect and a popular student, Eddie threw himself into the performing arts, taking part in numerous school and church music groups.

He then went on to obtain a bachelor of science degree in Media Technology from Kingston University, where he was elected spokesman, and ultimately president, of the Kingston University African-Caribbean Society (ACS).

It was while at University that Eddie hosted his first show which further cemented that entertaining people seemed to come naturally - and he’s never looked back since!

Renowned for his quick wit, clean comedy and unpredictable shows, Eddie Kadi has received much public acclaim in recent years, including the BECA Award for Best Comedy Newcomer in 2006. As just one of his many well deserved accolades in a journey which includes sold out concerts at the Hammersmith Apollo, Hackney Empire and the IndigO2 (twice in 2009), a 4 disc DVD collection, numerous television and film projects, this shows that Eddie is fast becoming a powerful force in British comedy.
