North Greenwich Arena

The O2 Arena, as it is called outside the confined sponsorship realms of the Olympics, is best known as a venue for some of the biggest names in the worlds of music and comedy. But it also has a strong sports pedigree, hosting the annual ATP World Tour Finals and, in 2009, the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships.

Taking to the sky in a helicopter, he snapped impressive photos of all the London Olympic venues, including the North Greenwich Arena.
