Legendary stadium, amazing atmosphere, had my best time with my family watching the Spurs Vs PSV. The access to the stadium is easy, remember to pre-book parking, otherwise you have to pay some dodgy people to look after your car, although everything was alright with mine, but still, parking is a little bit of a hassle.

What can I say? It's Wembley stadium. Lovely stadium. Comfy seats. Lots of toilets. Lots of places to eat. Easy to get to for us at least. Traffic gets busy in the area on event days but doesn't take too long to get out.

Went for the P!nk concert and found that the security personnel were amazing at dealing with the crowds both entering and exiting including managing the flow into the tube station. The food and drink inside the the stadium, although more expensive than general London prices, was not what I would consider extortionately so.

A great time watching a great concert including some very good support acts.

I great place, could do with a smoker's section as not many people who smoke get chance to have one as soon as they are in there as respect to the non smoking law many other stadiums have one, other than that I would recommend a visit

Its the new Wembley stadium.
Opened 2007.

England never won the world cup here.

Freddie mercury never set foot in this place. It was built nearly 20 years after he died.

Went to Wembley stadium on Sunday, February 2019 to watch a Tottenham Hotspurs premier league home game.


During match days you have to use the Wembley Park tube station as the Wembley station will be closed.
Recommended to leave early or stay late after the game, if you are taking the tube as there are long queues towards Wembley Park Station

NO TOILETS AFTER 9:30PM. Everything closes, I was waiting for my wife and daughter in the arena, j needed to answer a call from nature (I have an illness that affects the bowels) and no where does it say the times of access.

Had a great tour with Ray last week. He was awesome - very enthusiastic and so knowledgeable. I am not into football that much but my dad (football) and son (NFL) were in seventh heaven and even I got the WOW factor walking onto the pitch and seeing the scale of it all
Well worth it! Thanks Ray!

Went to see PINK in concert. It's a huge venue from the out side. Lots of walking to get to where you need to be. But we did it, she was out of this world. First time to Wembley I'm impressed loved it

Easy to get to, harder to get away from as there are always big queues at the train stations to get away after the games. But allow yourself plenty of time for travel and you'll have a top time!

Brought daughter here for concert. Probably the most organised large gig I've ever seen. Everything handled like clockwork. Lovely area around the venue with plenty of places for wayward parents to wait.

I'm not visiting the inside of the stadium because there's no show whatsoever, so i don't know what's inside the stadium. But the stadium looks great on the outside. A lot of buildings are being constructed around it.

Beers not as expensive as I had worried (only 5.50 for a pint of Hobgoblin), which wasn't too bad. Service, although friendly, wasn't as efficient as it could have been - why not have pints pre-pulled, to facilitate service at half time? Also, the place somehow lacks atmosphere....

Staying only minutes away from Wembley Stadium on FA Cup Final day. 90,000 empty seats but they still wouldn't let me in. Lovely area and impressive housing developments and shopping areas adjoining the Stadium.

Great day out but Wembley is so over priced it's a crime to your pocket. No where near enough staff serving food & beer & they talk to you like your a idiot . Going toilets is a absolute nightmare but the stewards were very helpful & my overall experience was a good one.

Wembley, the home of English football. So very dif...

Wembley, the home of English football. So very different to the original ever famous Two Towers, that used to occupy this site.
This newer modern stadium is just as fantastic in its own way, but as an older guy, will never quite hold a place in my heart. Well, that was until Sunday 31st March 2019.

As a stadium, it is very much like many of those that are home to the biggest clubs. Certainly those across Europe. It is fast becoming a standardised size and shape to those big guns, who have recently, or are having new stadiums constructed.
With the fast pace of ever smarter and technologically advanced improvements in the tech and construction industries, Wembley is no longer quite the state of the art masterpiece they possibly envisaged it would be. That said, it all really depends on the event it is holding and certainly, the people that pack the stands.


The stadium sits surrounded by plenty of food outlets, bars and other retail units and has local bars, pubs and restaurants within walking, or wheeling, distance. But obviously give plenty of time to get into the ground once the main throng of fans or concert goers start to descend on the place.
There are plenty of merchandise vendors dotted around the stadium and prices are fairly reasonable.
Unfortunately I can not tell you what kind of prices you would pay for food and drink, either around the stadium or once inside, as I don't drink and take my own soft drinks with me.
It is a must, that you check the website or your tickets or contact the stadium before your visit, as rules on bags, drinks, etc, can change, dependant on the event you are going to. All bags are subject to search and there is a huge list of items you can't take in. Wembley will make certain exceptions and allowances for medical needs or requirements, but you must contact Wembley first and obtain an Exemption Certificate. That process is very easy, via Wembley's Disabled Services department.

The one huge warning I will give, is that at the end of your visit, be prepared for long queues to get away from the ground. I have only ever driven there, due to being disabled and can not comment too much on the public transport, other than what friends and others say. However, from the pictures I have seen, prepare for big crowds on the train platforms.
If you are driving, learn to be patient. Getting that many vehicles out is a logistical headache. If you drive, visit the toilet before leaving and take a drink. It can take up to an hour to get out.

Wembley hosts numerous different events, mainly sports and music concerts.

Predominantly designed as a football stadium, the one with the round ball that you kick with your feet, for our American cousins, it has held some of the biggest games in the football world. With a capacity of 90 thousand seated patrons, it is huge. However, you simply do not get the true feel, until you see it packed to the rafters and you do not get to appreciate the true atmosphere, unless you have it packed solid with real fans instead of masses of corporate suits, just there for the prawn sandwiches.
My last visit was on 31st March 2019, at the record breaking Checkatrade Cup Final. 85'000 true supporters crammed into the stands. Portsmouth Vs Sunderland. A fantastic game with an out of this world atmosphere. The noise levels from the crowd were deafening. God knows what it would have been like with the stadiums mechanical roof shut.

Best advice I can give, plan well in advance and check the website. Failing all that, just contact them.

Only been here to watch bands play and fit that it is an amazing venue. You can feel the essence, atmosphere and energy of the event rolling round the arena when your there. Good facilities for food, drink and public amenities.

Wembley stadium is just superb as we looks in TV. Underground station and bus stations are nearby . We can easily reach there from London central . Ibis , holiday inn hotels are very near. One shopping complex is very near with movie theatres . 30 pounds charges for entering the stadium . Excellent location .

Good stadium, the crowd control was great the speed we managed to get to the underground was amazing bearing in mind the amount of people!! I think the gate idea of the food and drinks queues, isn t great they make it hard to move around as it makes the area smaller. Also just hotdogs isn t great

Footfall to events is well managed. Decent amount of toilet cubicles so overall little time queuing. Food and drinks prices are extortionate for the quality you get. Better off filling up on a meal before arriving at the venue. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Impressive stadium, well appointed. Great idea to have escalators to the upper levels. Excellent idea to have water dispensers situated around the concourse for people to refill bottles or cups instead of paying a fortune for alcohol or soft drinks.
