Welcome to Wembley
North West of Central London, Wembley is a place that truly embraces celebration and diversity. Since 1923 it has been hosting major sporting, cultural and music events that attract visitors from all over the world. Over time the arch of the Wembley stadium, designed by Foster & Partners architects and completed in 2007, has become the main defining landmark of the area.
The multicultural nature of Wembley reaches its peak of visibility at the annual Holi Festival, a Hindu celebration also known as festival of colours, attracting visitors of all ages and backgrounds.
