Oooh exciting news for the O2 arena. It's going to be used in the 2012 Olympics. It'll be known as the North Greenwich Arena and that's where some of the gymnastics will be held. That's my favourite bit of the Olympics so I'm happy indeed.

They're also going to use the area for the wheelchair basketball in the Paralympic Games.

Wow, remember when the O2 arena was just the rubbish Millennium Dome? So impressed with the turn around. Even if it is still a pretty ugly building.

    I'm so excited about the Olympics and the effect they'll have on Greenwich. I think it'll be great for the area.
