Hm, on the O2 website it says that they do not have any cloakrooms or lockers. Where to put my coat then? It's winter outside, and I don't feel like holding a heavy winter coat for three hours... and not freezing to death on my way there either. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

Try and get hold of a short coat thats got a good warm lining but isn't too bulky. Something you can tie the arms of around your waist maybe (That's what I usually do if I take my hoodie to a gig.)

If you are in one of the seats high up and near the back you will need your coat!

All right, so bringing a lighter something and freezing a bit on the way then. Gee, how can they NOT have a cloakroom? That's insane.

Thanks! Have only been to London once before and that was work-related so just jumped taxis and claimed it back as expenses. Have never seen a more complicated-looking thing than that rail/undergroun map!

At Birmingham 02 I wore 2 t-shirts, a fleece, my hoodie, a hat with earflaps and walking shoes. Inside I just had to remove layers as and when required. The worst bit was trying to make sure I didn't lose my hat but I managed it!

My mate and myself are going to get there early in an attempt to get our tickets before the doors open. Also I have a Motown Junk single delivery to make to a Belguim friend. Plus I need to buy a t-shirt for a friend and for myself. So a cloakroom attendant would add to my Manics job description
