The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Greenwich
Greenwich Mean Time starts here, so to speak, as the very concept of global time was established at Royal Observatory, just one of several buildings of architectural interest in Greenwich. Indeed, the whole of Greenwich's historic town center, its Royal Park and a number of related buildings (and one world famous ship, the Cutty Sark) make up the UNESCO World Heritage site known as Maritime Greenwich. Today a laser beam is shot out across the night sky from the Observatory to mark the location of the Prime Meridian. Other bold (some say brash) 21st century additions to the area include landmarks such as The O2 entertainment complex (previously known as the Millennium Dome) and the Air Line cable cars, which offer scenic transport across the Thames between North Greenwich and the Royal Docks.
How to get there
- North Greenwich • 5 min walk

- Andrew AAlthorne, United Kingdom405 contributionsGreat nightGood value and a good night. Great fun, the food was simple but very good. The range of drinks not extensive but reasonably priced for London, 5 a bottled beer. The entertainment was good cheesy fun. Mostly women but quite a few men. Smart casual dress code. Bit of a queue but not too bad and easier to be in a little early.Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 2 December 2022
- Debbie PTaunton, United Kingdom23 contributionsAn evening at Niko'sWhat an amazing experience. As you enter Nikos Taverna, you are taken to a wonderful immersive experience with cast and waiting staff mingling among the diners. Our table was next to the fountain so we had a great view of the whole performance. The food was also good quality and vegetarians are catered for but make sure you read the menu before you go as it is a set menu.Visited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 21 December 2022
- Rebecca GTorquay, United Kingdom217 contributionsReally fun but expensiveWe went as a pre Xmas treat as a family with our 2 daughters who are 19 and 22. There is a bit of a queue to get in, but you are undercover in the O2 so fine. Staff are efficient and mostly v friendly. It’s a slick operation handling a large number of people and getting them all seated, fed and with drinks. The standard of the performers was high and it is a friendly, warm atmosphere with everyone encouraged to sing and dance. We all enjoyed ourselves. The food we all thought ( 2 meat eaters, 2 vegetarians) was surprisingly good- particularly given how many people were being served at once. Drinks weren’t cheap but not outrageous. “Complimentary “ drink at the start was nasty- v sweet sparkling wine! I would recommend but it is expensive- a special treat.Visited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 27 December 2022
- WinMcWinchester, United Kingdom6 contributionsA brilliant event for allOur family group aged 18-80 all had a fabulous time, as did children around us. We were seated by the fountain and were made welcome from arrival. The food was great (including vegan option), the singing, dancing and acting first rate and the atmosphere could not be bettered. It’s a bit light on plot, but that’s not what we went for. Only a grinch would fail to have a good time! It’s not cheap but for over 4 hours solid entertainment and good food, we thought it was well worth it.Visited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 29 December 2022
- sandyliz-11Nantwich, United Kingdom152 contributionsFun night!A fun night for an Abba fan although quite expensive. Mostly women in attendance. Very well organised in a re-creation of a Greek Taverna. Good meal although the dessert of lemon drizzle cake seemed an odd choice, No need to pay for the VIP experience. Balcony seats have the best view. Recommend the nearby Ibis Canning Town for accommodation.Visited November 2022Written 30 December 2022
- GaryW888Newtown, Connecticut22 contributionsGreat show, but seating is "Luck of the Draw"It was a great show, but we can't give it a 5-star rating because of the seating. You can pick the general seating area (main floor vs balcony), but aside from that, seating is randomly assigned by show staff. There are several large square columns in the theater, and two of them blocked our view of the two key areas where the performance takes place. Staff says the show takes place "everywhere", but there is a fountain on the main floor and a raised area at one end of the theater which are the hubs of activity. We did not have clear views of either. The theater was packed, so no hope of relocating to another seat. Aside from that, a really fun show. Many of the attendees were "ABBA groupies" that knew every word to every song and were able to sing along and dance. That made for a really fun experience.Visited December 2022Written 5 January 2023
- SEL2970130 contributionsThe best night 💃🏼We booked this as a wedding anniversary treat with our family. Youngest 17 eldest 85 What a night. The atmosphere was fabulous. We had platinum tickets and we’re seated next to the band and fountain. So amazing The staff were amazing with mum (85) extremely helpful and she had the best night ever. Special mention to Ace who was very helpful and Patrick. But all the staff were great Mum wanted to get on the dancing stage at the end and the staff & other guests were so kind in allowing her to go straight up rather than Q. Thank you Great memories for our family ♥️Visited January 2023Travelled with familyWritten 6 January 2023
- Justyna FabPoland68 contributionsGreat show, good food, BUT.....Arrived on time bit horrified to see doors not opem and long lines formed, despite payinh for Platinum package. Finally doors opened and got in...mamma mia....the lack of organisation needs to be looked at. We were sent upstairs only to be told to go back downstairs to rejoin the queue to be told of the table number. What a way to treat customers! Waiting staff not welcoming and appear lost.. As a couple we had hoped to be seated just us hence we paid premium rates for the full platinum package but seated with others, whereas two seat tables were available. The Party Pack leaves much to be desired, please save it.Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 7 January 2023
- RiwillcherUnited States184 contributionsFun eveningMamma Mia The Party was on my teens list for our trip to London. The show did not disappoint. We had the platinum tickets, we entered in a separate line, seated on the floor & the cast interacted with us. There are 3 levels of seating, I honestly believe any seat is a good seat. The food was surprisingly good, the waiters were great & we really enjoyed the show. My daughter LOVED the show. I would recommend the show.Visited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 9 January 2023
- TashybudAddlestone, United Kingdom425 contributionsFantastic NightHad an amazing time: very organised, plenty of staff who were all friendly and professional. We had a disabled person in our party and our accessibility experience was fantastic. Effectively, its an experience whereby you enjoy a meal within the show itself. At the end of the meal is the finale followed by 1hr of Abba Disco! One thing to note - do not expect all the well known Abba songs, there were only a few. However, As I am an uber ABBA fan I knew all the songs so was in my element. Brilliant production and experience. I recommend!Visited January 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 15 January 2023

Fantastic night. We were tier B tickets 5 of us seated together on a lower terrace next to the fountain so very central with great views of the whole area. The setting is beautiful and staff amazing. We were worried about the food after reading reviews on here but it was all good. The lamb & beef was so tender and plenty of it with gorgeous potatoes and vegetables. My friend doesn’t like lamb so they gave her double beef. We had jugs of water (free) and I ordered my bottle of wine via the app. Had no issues with the app once I logged onto O2 Wi-Fi. Wine was £35 then they add 10% service charge so £38.50. You pay on the app too. My friends placed their order with the waiter and just before end of show he came across with their bill which also had the 10% service charge added.
The show ended around 10pm then immediately it’s a disco where people can get onto the small stage they build halfway through the performance over the fountain.
We were on a bus tour from the north east of England which included travel, hotel with breakfast and our entrance tickets. Bus took us to O2 and return to hotel after the show then into central London next day for a few hours. Total cost £265 pp. Well worth the money brilliant night.

The negative reviews are completely correct. Such a Shame. Huge potential to do this properly and can't understand why the management don't care. Ok we (6 friends)paid £168 for tier b got put at table 86, view blocked by pillars. Saw snippets of the show which gave off an amateur vibe, none of understood what was going on. Food was OK. Portion sizes snall. Vegetarian main dish the size of a fist and tasteless. The songs just before the disco (no dj) was good ie abba because the songs during the show were unrecognisable! ..disco at the end was just to waste more time! That's how it felt . Plus point, the decor was amazing. We complained about tier b table 86 but management said they were actually good seats!! We literally could not see more than 10%
Abba voyage on the other hand was 1000 times better than this. Don't waste your money.

Lovely seat (table 15). The story had a very flimsy plot, performers are excellent. Food terrible (I had an upset stomach that night as did my friend). Service good we had a great waiter Jamie, couldn’t tip him as I forgot cash! Would I go again and is it value for money-no and no. Fun nonetheless.

So I don’t think I can recommend going to the Abba thing at the O2. It was ok. I don’t think it was good value for money or a good show. Thankfully we didn’t have to pay for our tickets as our friend treated us! It was an amateur dramatic performance (apart from Kate and Kostatina) and very poor food with a short ‘disco’ at the end. They didn’t play many of the well known abba songs during the show which was disappointing. I didn’t expect fine dining but when they are charging £200 a ticket I expected more than one tomato, two bits of feta and two olives for my ‘greek salad’ starter. Then for the main you get lamb and beef (tiny portions!)and then for the side they basically cook the left over starter greek salad slops and serve it up as a ‘side’. Dessert was a dry bit of lemon cake. Coffee cup provided was filthy.
No real story, they’ve cobbled something together and badged it was ‘mamma mia’ just to make loads of money. Nothing to do with the movie or musical. I couldn’t recommend this to anyone.
I would suggest you spend your hard earned cash going to see Abba Voyage (this was amazing!!!!) or go to the west end and see the stage show (saw it this year and it was incredible! The do a big song song at the end) and have a nice meal after xxx

Definitely not worth the money when you can go see a London show at west end for less and get a longer show.
The staff were lovely and friendly, can’t deny that and they introduce themselves and can’t do enough for you.
Drinks were pricey and food was small with no multiple choice option, just vegetarian or normal.
Tables are soo crammed together that you’re bumping into people as you pull out your chairs and not a lot of room to move and so many things on the tables that there’s hardly anywhere to put your bag or drinks down.
Turnover is quick to get your
plates out of the way ready for the next act and course.
The show itself felt very short and not that great compared to a west end show. I’ll admit it’s a very close experience, we booked the tier A tickets and were right in the middle. The actors do come right by you and make eye contact, and clap you on the shoulder and dance and sing right next to you but then they move, and you have to turn in your seats to hardly see them on the other side of the room, but i guess that’s just something you have to get over.
If anyone were to go, i’d recommend the balcony seats because you’ve got an ariel view and will see everything and they still come up there in a bit of the show so that’s cool.
We had very rowdy/noisy people near us that had to be told by security to settle down as it still is a show, you can’t just talk through it.
I just think they could bring the price down so a few more people can justify affording it and going in these times.
The after party was okay, just a dj playing abba songs with the lights off and i suppose it gives you somewhere to be rather than just going home.

This was the best night I have had for a long time., we had a table of 8 near the fountain. The singing wa superb, service excellent, and food lovely (I am vegan). I do understand if you got a table with a pillar it might be different but I think it is what you make of the night. The dancing amazing, the effects fantastic. Thank you everyone, even the security guard at the fountain was great fun! Well done.

Should we book a water taxi for after the show and approximately what sort of time?
Helen S

Don’t know about the water taxi because we left and got an Uber. Winds up about midnight. Word of advice, go into the 02 arena at the main entrance and turn right. There are no signs and google maps took us the way round the back and we couldn’t get in that way so walked for half an hour. Make sure you’re there by 7.30 or doors will be closed. Hope you enjoy it.

I know everyone asks this but still cant decide, but which tickets? I'm considering either Tier B or C tickets. Are the Tier B worth the extra money? There will be 4 of us all friends. It will also be a sunday if that makes any difference.
Helen S
Stratford-upon-Avon, UK20 contributions
We went for tier b and it was cramped and couldn’t really see but quite honestly it’s a total rip off, pay the extra and you may still be sitting with people you don’t know. If you really want to go go for the cheapest because the more expensive tickets are just even more of a rip off.

Hi do they run a bar tab on your table or do you chip and pin on each order placed at the time? Thanks.
Helen S
Stratford-upon-Avon, UK20 contributions
We ran a tab at the table then they come and tell you when you need to settle and after that it’s a case of going to the bar and paying each time. Cashless so make sure you have a card.

Yo will all sit together, most tables can sit 8nut cheaper ones may be on higher balcony with a restricted view. No biggie in my opinion, it’s about the music, food and company! I would have posted a photo to help but can’t see how to do that ☹️

Hi looking for the cheapest prices. The website does not seem to show what is considered off peak times. I was looking to book 5 tickets tier C on Saturday matinee, which I thought was £99 a ticket. Looking at site it appears there is also a booking fee, not sure if this is per booking or person. Any advice please on cheapest price tickets. Thanks

I think Friday and Saturday are peak, it was £15 each per ticket booking fee.
