I might be driving my missus and her friend down to the O2 Arena for the Spice Girls concert on Sunday 6th Jan. Obviously I am not going in there with them, and it is supposed to start at 630pm. I dont think there is anyway I could sit in the car and wait for them is there?  If the answer is no, what is there to do round there? Im not loking to spend a huge amount of money lol, and is it worth bringing one of my mates to go and do summat?
Cheers
Dan

You would be daft not to jump on the tube and go to Hamley's at this time of year
It would take around 40 minutes to get on the tube from the O2 arena to Regent Street/Oxford street/ Tottenham court road.
You will have a blast
I want to go

the o2 arena is in greenwhich perinsula, basically a big industrial estate.
your park up there and theres nothing decent around for a distance.
jsut stay in the confines of the arena, get something to eat and watch a film

that does sound more like it ant, i assume u can gain access to the arena if you dont have a concert ticket? Never been to it or when it was the Dome, so not quite sure what to expect or the size of it
