The venue 02 Forum needs to be deleted. It starts with zero rather than the letter O. The correctly named venue is O2 Forum, Kentish Town. There are 5 shows listed at 02 Forum which need to be be moved before deletion.

So why are all the O2 venues called O (letter) 2 (number)?

I thought it should be 02 (both numbers) for year 2002, and O2 came to be the accepted way here, but that does not follow exactly as first show dates under these new venue names only start after 2006 and onwards.

Could it O!!, and then second name for the venue; ie Millenium Dome = O2 London??

They're all called O(letter)2 because they are sponsored by the mobile phone company O(letter)2.
The rebranding of BT's Cellnet mobile phone business as O2 began from June 2002 but it was based on the oxygen molecule O2 (the apparent notion being that Cellnet/O2's services were essential in the same way that oxygen is essential) rather than the year it started.
