Wembley is a special part of London with a particular place in the nation's affections as the home of English football.
The area is currently undergoing major regeneration. Famous as the venue for England’s historic 1966 World Cup win, it will soon be home to a new national stadium, placing Wembley at the very centre of the nation's sporting endeavours.
Wembley is also famous for its major music venue, Wembley Arena. This iconic building has hosted megastars such as the Rolling Stones, Beatles, ABBA and Madonna. The Arena is currently undergoing a huge renovation in time for the opening the new stadium in 2006, but the show still goes on! The arena has a fantastic temporary pavilion seating up to 10,000 people.
The regeneration programme is well underway and the new Wembley will include amazing retail, accommodation, entertainment and leisure facilities. It promises to be a fascinating world-class destination visited by sports fans, tourists, business people and locals alike.
