Hotels for UB40 Feat Ali Campbell - the Big Love Tour

Reggae-pop favourites get an airing from a band that built its name on steady basslines and horn-driven hooks. Expect a crowd who grew up with these songs on the radio, singing along from the first chorus. It's a seated-and-standing mix of an evening, more communal singalong than mosh pit, with decades of hits stretched across one set. A Thursday date means an early start suits anyone travelling any distance afterwards.

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.
