At the O2 Centre we understand that all of our customers have unique needs, and that for some, help in pre-planning a visit can reduce anxiety and ensure you make the most of your day.

I can't believe they want to shut the O2 Centre! This place is so conveniently located. It has a cinema, restaurants, shops and sainsbury. The bus stop is right next to it and Finchley Road tube station just a 2 minutes walk. Nice place for dinner and movie night out

Did not specifically wander around as popped into Argos to collect an item ordered online. Sainsbury's was quite busy though. Noticed quite a few shops are shut due to COVID or permanently closed. Apart from that brisk businesses as plenty of shoppers in Center. Car park was almost full. Only one entrance barrier was working though causing delays.

Well laid out and spacious centre catering to shopping, leisure and entertainment. There's a wide selection of shops and places to get food. Waiting to see what the old space where Habitat was gets converted into.

I went today to watch Clifford the big red dog in the vue. The vue is great. They clean it each movie I know this cause I always stay for the credits and they come clean then.
I recommend going it was really fun

The escalators to the second floor have been broken for months. One of the major anchor stores in the place is closed. A third place inside, a cinema has a mouse problem so severe, I felt moved to write to environmental health, The local council have applied for planning permission to knock this down, and given how unloved it is starting to feel, I wouldn’t be surprised if they got the permission they seek.

Really enjoyed the day, morning into the afternoon. Unfortunately, some of the well known shops have closed down; making things look a little sparse. Somewhere to go that is sheltered and warm and light environment. We went to watch a film and the staff at the Vue were very polite and professional. Toilets were tidy and organised in terms of distancing and cleanliness. Good day.

Maybe it was the day I visited but certainly had that post-apocalyptic cavernous yet empty shopping mall feel about it. Definitely shows its age and sure could do with a revamp. One would think there are a lot of shops but poorly designed and limited establishments within

Quite a basic shopping centre with a huge parking and all of the “necessary to exist as a human” shops and stores, such as Sainsbury’s and HomeDepot. There’s also more Amazon Lockers that I’ve seen in my life so far.

No ability to park your car if your disabled because all the spaces are taken up by “non disabled” people and management quite frankly don’t give a sh%^

Had dinner at Wagamama nice food good tidy restaurant decent customer service so all in all love it not really in a typing mood but it's gotta be 50 characters or less so my lack of enthusiasm in this review is nothing to do with the service or center as a whole...

I lived in London many years ago and this was almost like a local haunt for me. It's got more shops and restaurants now and it's wonderful to get away from the bustling Finchley Rd I personally love the Nando's there I had to stay across from there a few weeks ago and it was lovely going to the Tiger shop which is absolutely gorgeous also the Oliver Bonas shop is delightful

Love browsing in the book shop or Habitat. This time, another trip to the cinema. Zizzi's first for food.....not sure about the waitress but at least she didn't hassle me to leave this time. Food ok. Cinema staff helpful which made for a good experience.

Awesome place to spend time if you have nothing else to do, or you have to wait for someone. There are many things you can do, from drinking coffee/ eating, to shopping or having your nails done. Also in a very nice area of London.

I rather miss the "old" O2 Centre. There were fishtanks and waterfalls and now there's a coffee shop and a frozen yoghurt place. I wouldn't exactly call it an improvement. But there has been some improvement made to the stores inside - the old Chinese place is long gone and replaced by some much better stores.

Waterstones and Habitat both remain, and both are good examples of their stores. At the back of the centre there is a Sainsburys which is quite a good sized one. But while the O2 used to be unique and exciting (although the rockery things up and down the escalators were

The O2 is an odd beast, one of those centres you'd normally find in the suburbs but this one is right on Finchley Road.

They have a good variety of restaurants, a cinema, Sainsburys, and a few shops. It's clean and well kept, but not exciting.

Back when it first opened in 2000, it was really neat, with cool fountains and fish tanks and lots of seating. Now, it's pretty soulless.

Not worth a special trip but useful when you're in the area.

We were staying a block away on Finchley Rd. and were thrilled to find the O2 Centre just steps away. It is a cozy little mall with many restaurants, theatres and a grocery store.

Every day we were in London we found ane reason or another to visit, we would have a bite at one of the many restaurants (or food bars), grab a few items for breakfast the next day from the grocery store, buy a book or stop by Habitat. Yes, we brought quite a few items back from that store.

All in all, this was a great go-to place for us and can't wait to go back.

I agree with some of the other viewers. Slightly over-rated cinemas probably the best thing about this place. Nothing special overall.

A decent little mall with everything we could need: a cinema, a market, and a few restaurants (one of which is a Nandos!). Since this was very close to where we used to live, we came here often.

It is a strange place, with restaurants opening onto the main thouroughfare, it's like eating oustide, inside? Particulary Nando's. If you are going out to eat go to a dedicated restaurant with four walls. Upstairs is not as bad, or chilly. There is a selection of restaurants, a pricey health club, a cheap wetherspoons, the obligatory Starbucks and a big Sainsburys. Across the car park there is also a Homebase.

The O2 Centre is a great place to be. It is more of a entertainment hub rather than a shopping centre. It has many restaurants and bars including: Yo Sushi!, Weatherspoons, Nandos, Walkabout, Fine Burger Company, Zuccato and Starbucks. There is also a multi screen Vue cinema and health centre. There are a few shops including a Waterstones, Habitat and Sainsbury's.


The original O2 was based around the theme of water and as such had many fish tanks and one big one beneath the escalators which had many fish and a turtle. However, the O2 centre is currently undergoing a face lift and as such

The refurb couldnt have made it any uglier but it has to be said this is still a dire use of everyone's time and a very good space in NW London. THe sainsbury's is great but all the restaurants lack any buzz and there seeams to be a contagious depression amongst everyone who works in them. Why not just stick to the high st?

Fantastic place in the North Western part of London. This place has what you'd look for in a night out, Cinema, a great Weatherspoons, few bars, varied range of places to eat from tasty chicken at Nando's, to traditional food at Spoons, or an Indian, or perhaps some Chinese food or a burger at the burger place.


Great fishtanks around and they will keep you entertained. Couple of shops around, book shop and also Sainsbury's if you want to pay a visit.


The cinema is great, good for taking the opposite gender there with the liftable arm rests.

A great place to go to when you're in Swiss Cottage as there are restaurants, cafes, a cinema, a pub, a gym and a HUGE Sainsburys.


The cinema can be somewhat pricy, but thats London for you.

The O2 centre is a mini version of the one in North Greenwich and houses The Vue cinema, which because of Orange Wednesdays is very busy on that day, but has a great atmosphere with so many people under one roof. There is also a Nando's and a Weatherspoons with their Curry and Steak nights throughout the week.


The layout gives the place a lot of room to move and the escalator goes straight up over a huge fish tank, which is always full of our finned friends. A great place just to chill out.
