Millenium Dome

Millenium Dome

It's not called the Millenium Dome anymore...it's called The O2 now..the Dome was built to house exhibitions for the third millenium.....well..looks like not enuff people went to see it so it now houses shops, restaurants, bars, cinema, and an arena for concerts and other stuff..

It's in Greenwich and it looks like a big huge tent or marquee..it has 12 yellow support towers representing one for each month of the year or each hour of clock face; think Greenwich Mean Time...FYI...It's the largest domed structure in the world..

If you happen to watch the English soap 'Eastenders', on PBS, which is about 5 years behind in L.A., well...the opening credits show an aerial view of London and you can see the Dome..It's pretty big...you can't miss it..

When I went it wasn't very busy...I saw a movie then walked around outside..It was a cloudy and overcast day..and there's not much to do outside except walk along the Thames river but it's very industrial..All in all it was OK...kinda like a Big Top Mall...
