The O2 Arena, referred to as North Greenwich Arena in the context of the 2012 Olympics, is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in the centre of The O2 entertainment complex on the Greenwich Peninsula in south-east London. It is named after its primary sponsor, the telecommunications company O2.
The arena has hosted two National Hockey League contests, which started the 2007-08 NHL season, on 29 and 30 September, both involving the Los Angeles Kings and their regional rivals from Southern California, the Anaheim Ducks.
