The O2 Arena

As Titanic fever hits the UK with the opening of The Titanic Exhibition in London, explore the history of the largest and most luxuriously appointed ship ever to sail the seas in early 20th Century.

The new exhibition features over 300 artefacts from the ship itself and several recreations of rooms on board, so visitors can experience life on board the world's most notorious ocean liner. And for an authentic taste of London life during your stay, why not rent a holiday home and explore the city from your own London flat or townhouse? The UK’s largest holiday rentals website, HomeAway Holiday-Rentals, lists over 450 private properties in London, including plenty close to The O2 arena, where the exhibition is being held.

In 2012, it will be 100 years since Titanic sank on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City. Investigate its story with a visit to The Titanic Exhibition London, one of the most historically significant exhibitions in the history of the ship or head to Belfast for a Titanic themed short break. The liner was built in Belfast, so there are several Titanic tours available throughout the year including a tour guided by Susie Millar, the great granddaughter of a crew member who worked on building the ship and then sailed on her maiden voyage in 1912.
