Hotels for Duran Duran

A Halloween night show from a band whose synth-driven pop defined the early 1980s and whose live sets still lean heavily on that era's hits. Expect a crowd spanning generations, many dressed up for the date as much as for the band. Saturday timing and the October 31st slot make this one of the livelier stops on any arena tour, with a party atmosphere that starts well before the doors open. Sequins, eyeliner and fancy dress are as likely as band t-shirts.

Set beneath its unmistakable tented roof on the Greenwich Peninsula, The O2 is one of the world's busiest indoor arenas, drawing global music tours, comedy and sport year-round. The complex wraps the arena in cinemas, restaurants and riverside bars, with the Thames Path and cable car close by. The Jubilee line reaches North Greenwich in minutes, and riverboats offer a scenic alternative. Staying on the peninsula or across in Greenwich means an easy walk or short hop back after the encore.
