The O2, which is home to Outlet Shopping at The O2, saw “another record-breaking year” as it delivered growing footfall and sales across retail, leisure, and food and beverage.
The results stemmed from new leasing activity and reinvestment from existing tenants.
The O2 recorded 11 million visitors in 2025, its most successful year to date with a 9.4% growth from 2024, and a 23% rise from 2023. Retail, leisure, and food and beverage sales grew 12% year on year.
Outlet Shopping at The O2 sales saw double-digit growth, up 15% year on year, with beauty, accessories, confectionery, and footwear up 17%, 18%, 17% and 24% respectively from 2024.
The outlet saw 16,679 sq ft of new lettings in 2025, including Rituals, Kate Spade New York, Jack & Jones, and Lovisa.
Boxing Day proved successful for shopping, as the outlet saw its highest sales day of the year by rising 7% year on year. Black Friday weekend also saw sales grow 12% compared with the same weekend in 2024.
Leisure sales grew 18% year on year, with The O2 soon to welcome the UK debut of Guinness World Records and join a line-up of Hollywood Bowl, Padel Social Club, Activate, and Boom Battle Bar.
The overall results coincided with The O2 arena, which sold over 2.9 million tickets in 2025.
AEG International real estate and development executive vice president Alistair Wood said: “2025 has been another landmark year for The O2. Our success comes from offering more of what people want in one place, and continually integrating and evolving our offer to stay relevant and appealing.
“Destinations that combine variety and adapt to changing consumer needs perform best, and The O2 reflects this. Our wide range of experiences drives social spending among friends and family, creating memorable moments and building strong customer loyalty that drives our continued outperformance.
“With a busy events programme and several new additions planned, we are confident this momentum will continue into 2026.”
