<P> The Millennium Dome , also referred to simply as The Dome , is the original name of a large dome - shaped building , originally used to house the Millennium Experience , a major exhibition celebrating the beginning of the third millennium of the Anno Domini calendar era . Located on the Greenwich Peninsula in South East London , England , the exhibition was open to the public from 1 January to 31 December 2000 . The project and exhibition was the subject of considerable political controversy as it failed to attract the number of visitors anticipated , with recurring financial problems . All of the original exhibition and associated complex has since been demolished . The dome still exists , however , and it is now a key exterior feature of The O2 . The Prime Meridian passes the western edge of the Dome and the nearest London Underground station is North Greenwich on the Jubilee line . </P>
