This from the Planet Hollywood website:

About us


Planet Hollywood, the world’s one and only dining experience inspired by the glamour of Hollywood, was launched in New York on 22nd October 1991. This innovative restaurant chain was launched with the backing of Hollywood megastars Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Demi Moore.

Planet Hollywood London enjoyed a 16 year stint based in the Trocadero centre in London's buzzing Piccadilly circus. However all good things must come to an end and at the beginning of 2009, it was decided that it was time to move on, it was time for Planet Hollywood London to evolve! So following in the footsteps of the Planet Hollywood resort and casino in Las Vegas, the logo was changed and Planet Hollywood moved into its new home on the Haymarket(only a two min walk from the Trocadero centre).

Planet Hollywood, now boasts a large cocktail bar, along with many other themed areas, such as the Bond room, the British room and our trendy Cabana room. There are still lots of favourite pieces of memorabilia, among them Ursula Andress bikini from the iconic film, Dr No, R2D2 from the classic Star Wars films and much much more.

Whether dining with friends, family, colleagues or clients, Planet Hollywood is an ideal venue for large or small groups, with parties easily accommodated, for either lunch or dinner.

Have a browse through our website and see what we offer from special occasions, through to exclusive private hires.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to our new home.

As has been said already. The 02 is not in the centre of London, but the city has excellent transport links.

The 02 site is very helpful.

I found the new updated Planet Hollywood... was extremely disappointed so didn't go in. Its all been done up and very stylish and modern, not how it used to be. Instead went in 4 different Wetherspoons

Hi Kev

Have you tried buying single tickets. I got 3 returns for 90 quid but had to purchase them as singles.

Booked my hotel today for my O2 gig. Staying at the Premier Inn London Docklands (Excel), just across the river. Going to get the coach at 7.45am to get to London for around 2ish in the afternoon. Trying to find out which is the closest coach station to the arena for National Express, any suggestions?
