The North Greenwich Arena is constructed in between 2003 to 2007. It was opened for public on 24 June 2007. The owner of the arena is English Partnerships, the national regeneration agency, which supports high quality continuous growth in England. The operator of North Greenwich Arena is Ansco Arena Limited, Europe.
The arena is located in the Greenwich peninsula on the Meridian Line. The venue is situated across the river Thames from the mouth of the River Lea that runs through the park.
The park was constructed with a purpose of organizing Millennium celebrations. But later, it has been turned out to be a sports and entertainment stadium with facilities like shops, restaurants and many more. In May 2012, the management will start works to convert North Greenwich Arena into a venue for London Olympics and Paralympic events.
The organizers have to install temporary items like tents, services, cabins, signage, and paraphernalia in and around the site. The management has also submitted an application to Greenwich Council seeking its permission to modify the North Greenwich Arena and host the Games at this venue in the year 2012.
