Footage on social media shows the O2 Arena, formerly known as the Millennium Dome, “shredded” by strong winds amid Storm Eunice.
The large dome-shaped building, situated in South East London housed a major exhibition marking the start of the third millennium.
It officially opened on New Year’s Even in 1999 and is more recently used for concerts in the capital.
The footage was shared by Ben Hubbard on Twitter and has nearly 3,000 retweets at the time of writing.

The footage comes amid “stay at home” warnings across the UK.
The Environment Agency also urged weather watchers and amateur photographers to resist the temptation to try and capture dramatic footage of Storm Eunice’s impact.
Emergency services and the Met Office warned people to stay at home.
Boris Johnson said: “We should all follow the advice and take precautions to keep safe.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
