The O2 has now got an awesome exhibition called the British Music Experience – it’s an interactive walk through the history of music that made this country great – as they say:
Whether you’re more of a ‘Wannabe’ than a ‘Living Doll, prefer ‘Anarchy in the UK’ to ‘Life on Mars’ or you’re feeling ‘Supersonic’ or like a ‘Puppet on a String’, from Trad Jazz to Happy Hardcore you can take your own trip through British music history.
Using state of the art effects and iconic memorabilia we show how rock, pop, dance and other genres were formed and have influenced the last sixty years of British culture. From the classic era defining sounds of The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Dusty Springfield… to stadium filling giants like The Who and Queen… to the irresistible anarchy of bands like The Specials and Sex Pistols… right up to recent crowd-pleasers such as Spice Girls, Oasis, Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys and more.
Along your journey you can step into interactive audio visual spaces that explore great British music moments throughout history, you can witness fascinating one-off interviews between the biggest stars, see an awe inspiring display of famous artefacts “come to life”, record songs, learn instruments, bust moves on the dance floor and even feel what it is like to perform at a virtual concert.
Sounds good doesn’t it?! I personally will be making my way over there as soon as my leggies can carry me – and as an O2 sub, I’d spend a while to have a look round the cool O2 shop there too

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
