The O2 Centre is an indoor shopping and entertainment centre located on Finchley Road in North West London, near Hampstead, England.

Designed by HOK International and opened in 1998,[1] it is now owned by Landsec.[2] Despite the same name and originally very similar logo, it is no relation to the O2 telecommunications brand, which was launched four years later.[3] The name was chosen as reference to the spacious feel of the building, as O2 is the chemical formula for dioxygen.
