Hotels for McLaren Racing Live in Conversation

An evening built around motorsport talk rather than racing itself, with drivers, engineers or team figures sitting down to unpack the season just gone and the one ahead. Expect stories from the garage and the pit wall that rarely make it into broadcast coverage, plus a fair bit of banter between people who spend most of the year working under pressure.

Monday evenings draw a crowd that knows the sport well, so questions from the floor tend to be sharp rather than starstruck. Coming so soon after the season finale, this one should be full of fresh answers rather than rehearsed ones.

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.
