Testimonials

of London’s most sought after venues. Originally designed
for music concerts it has now opened its doors to the

stage, back stage facilities, 6 preferred caterers and private
VIP lounge it is modern, versatile and creative.
“Lodestar have worked with indigo at The O2 for a number
of high profile corporate events in the last few years, each
with a demanding but diverse set of standards &
expectations. On each occasion, it’s proved to be a versatile
venue with plenty of scope for creative use of space, and
we were very impressed with the support we received, from
a technical, staffing & catering point of view. There were
never any issues with last minute requirements from us or
our clients, and we found the team there had a consistent
can-do attitude.”
The in house AV and technical inclusions are vast, impressive
and most are included within the hire charge. The large
capacity’s and the flexibility of the space make it a great
choice for companies looking to give their delegates
something a little different. The venue is perfect for product

annual conference or an awards dinner we have one
main goal… to impress!

nothing is too much trouble to ensure that we get the best
out of the venue for our events. We look forward to holding
more of our events there in the years to come’.
