About Wembley - show info hide info

Wembley is a place in the London borough of Brent. The population of Wembley is 57,146 inhabitants. Wembley is known as the home of the Wembley Stadium (currenly under redevelopment; though it is the spiritual home of English football) and the Wembley Arena, which hosts a number of concerts Wembley was first noted in 825 AD as Wembalea, which literally meant 'Wemba's Forest Clearing'. Wembley remained empty land with a small hamlet. It was when the Metropolitan railway opened in 1879 that Wembley began to develop, as a station at Wembley (Wembley Park) was opened in 1894, after an extension to Harrow was built in 1880. This originally served the recreation ground. In 1887, the Metropolitan Railway aquired the park at Wembley Park (originally land owned by Page Family), and developed it as a recreational facility for North London. A replica Eiffel Tower was built, which dominated views from across the park. However, it was never completed, and was subsequently demolished in 1907. Today, Wembley has four stations; North Wembley station, Wembley Central station, Wembley Park station and Wembley Stadium station. Wembley North and Wembley Central both see tube services on the Bakerloo Line between Elephant and Castle, and Harrow and Wealdstone. Both also see Silverlink services between London Euston and Watford Junction. Wembley Park sees tube line services on the Metropolitan Line, between Aldgate and Amersham/Chesham/Watford; and on the Jubilee line between Stanmore and Stratford. Wembley Stadium sees services on the National Rail network, between London Marylebone and High Wycombe, operated by Chiltern Railways.
