Wembley Property Guide

The word ‘Wembley’ can only mean one thing: the national stadium, home of the England football team and countless global events. But beyond its iconic sporting heritage, Wembley is also a lively commercial centre with excellent transport links, diverse communities and a growing reputation for business and culture.

What Makes Wembley Special?

Unlike almost anywhere else in London, Wembley is instantly recognisable thanks to its landmark stadium. Yet there’s far more to discover:

• The UK’s largest stadium and a global sporting icon, visible for miles thanks to its 440ft-high arch
• A major commercial district, home to hundreds of businesses across multiple sectors
• A strong residential base, offering homes for families, professionals, and long-term locals

It’s a place where big occasions and everyday living meet seamlessly.

Is It Easy to Get Around?

Yes — Wembley is exceptionally well connected. Residents and businesses benefit from strong road and rail links:

• Roads – Direct access to the North Circular and Westway/A40
• Underground & Overground – Bakerloo, Metropolitan, and London Overground lines all serve the area
• Quick City Access – Fast connections to Central London, the West End, and Canary Wharf

Whether commuting, travelling for work, or heading into town for leisure, Wembley offers superb accessibility.

Culture & Heritage

Wembley has been at the heart of British culture for generations:

• The British Empire Exhibition (1924) and the first FA Cup Final (1923)
• The Olympic Games of 1948 and the World Cup Final of 1966
• Legendary concerts and cultural events that cemented its place in global memory

And of course, the Wembley Arch — spanning over 1,000 feet — remains the world’s longest single-span roof and a symbol of modern London.

What Are the Schools Like?

Wembley offers an excellent range of schools, making it attractive for families:

Secondary Schools

• Wembley High Technology College (Outstanding)
• Ark Academy (Outstanding)

Primary Schools

• Joseph RC Junior School (Outstanding)
• Byron Court Primary School (Outstanding)

Strong educational options add to the area’s appeal for those seeking long-term family homes.

Who Lives Here?

Wembley is diverse, energetic, and community-focused. It has a mix of established residents, young professionals, and families drawn by space, schools, and transport.

Music lovers might be intrigued to know it was once home to Keith Moon (The Who) and Charlie Watts (The Rolling Stones) — proof that Wembley has rhythm in its DNA.

Why It’s Special for Dutch & Dutch

For us, Wembley isn’t just about iconic events — it’s also about supporting thriving local businesses.

One of our biggest lettings in 2018 was to My Construction Ltd: a 40,000 sq. ft secure yard with a 4,000 sq. ft office and warehouse. This deal enabled huge growth, allowing the company to deliver high-profile projects for embassies, schools, hospitals, and hotels.

Helping companies like My Construction to scale and succeed is exactly why Wembley remains such an exciting market for Dutch & Dutch.
