Earls Court Loses Out To O2

The Brit Awards are to move to the O2 arena in south east London from Earl's Court in the west of the city.

The annual UK music awards ceremony has been held at Earl's Court for the past 11 years.

The O2, which became a music venue in 2007 and was built largely within the former Millennium Dome, is based in North Greenwich.

Next year's Brit awards will be held on 15 February.
