Pokemon fans are set to gather at Greenwich's O2 to "catch loads" of fictional critters.

The area's first Pokemon LureParty will take place at the venue at 1pm on Saturday (July 16) following the national popularity of mobile game Pokemon Go.

News Shopper:

The event has been organised on Facebook with more than 300 planning to attend so far.

The game allows players to 'catch 'em all' wherever they are - and many London pubs and tourist attractions have been turned into Pokemon gyms to train newly caught pets.

Creatures have also been spotted across north Kent including on train tracks in Greenhithe - much to the alarm of commuters.
