Brent: Wembley's Borough, London's Most Diverse Postcode
One building defines the skyline. The 133-metre arch of Wembley Stadium, rebuilt in 2007 at a cost of £798 million, is visible from across north-west London. The old stadium, with its twin towers, was demolished in 2003 after eighty years of FA Cup finals, Live Aid, and the 1966 World Cup final. The new ground seats 90,000. The OVO Arena sits alongside for mid-sized events. On match and concert days, Wembley Park station strains under the weight. The London Designer Outlet and surrounding development have created a commercial district that barely existed two decades ago.
