British Music Experience

Our favourite new attraction in the O2 ‘bubble’ traces the history of British popular music from 1945 to the present day in a series of eight galleries filled with instruments and stage costumes, music, lights and buttons to push. And it’s about as hands-on as you can get. Film yourself playing guitar, singing or dancing and fill up your chip-impregnated entrance ticket with information and music to be downloaded onto your computer at home. The Finale, in which you stand next to holograms performing before a massive cheering (filmed) audience, has to be experienced to be believed. We’re still taking our bows after a Standing Room Only concert of air guitar.
