Wembley Park event guide

If you’re heading to the area for a big day (or night) out, our new guide tells you everything you need to know, from the best things to do in Wembley to the finest places to stay.

How to get here

The best way to get to Wembley Park is via public transport, taking advantage of excellent tube and rail connections to Central London, the south-east and beyond. If you’d prefer to drive, there are more than 3000 secure parking spaces in Wembley Park that you can prebook. But don’t forget that on event days the roads and public transport will be extra busy, so plan your journey in advance and leave plenty of time!

Eating

Make a day of it with a meal at one of the LDO’s 20 cafés, bars and restaurants, from burgers at Big Moe’s Diner to a rack of ribs at Frankie & Benny’s, or other favourites such as Pizza Express, Nando’s and Wagamama. If you’re in a hurry, BOXPARK Wembley’s wide range of global street foods includes Greek, Thai, Indian and Argentinian as well as traditional and vegan options.

Drinking

Take advantage of happy hour at the LDO’s bars, such as 2-for-1 cocktails at Las Iguanas, or visit Sky Bar 9 @ Hilton Wembley for its stylish interior and an outdoor terrace with views over the stadium.

Pre- & post-event entertainment

Wondering what to do around Wembley before or after your big event? Get yourself to BOXPARK Wembley, where three bars, live DJs and club nights will keep the party going until 1am. And if you can’t get a ticket to the cup final, watching it live on Boxpark’s huge HD screens is almost as good as the real thing!

There’s always plenty happening all over Wembley Park, from free events and performers in the square to dramatic installations and street art. Click here for updates on what's on in north London.

Lots of big names offer discounts of up to 70% on RRP – from Nike and Adidas sportswear to fashion from Next, Calvin Klein and SuperDry. And don’t forget to accessorise with shoes from Skechers, Converse and New Balance, or shades from Sunglasses Hut.

Don’t want to haul your shopping bags around all day? Take advantage of Dropit, the store-to-door delivery service, and head off to your big event while your shopping wings its way to your home.
