The Living Neighbourhood

See Wembley Park in a New Light

Ten years ago, this was a neighbourhood of cranes and construction. Today, it’s a place people call home. The Living Neighbourhood is a new, free photography trail that takes you through the last decade of change at Wembley Park. We’ve teamed up with photographer Chris Winter, who has been documenting our streets since 2015, to showcase 16 massive, large-format images that capture the soul of the area. Forget the "spectacle" for a second—this exhibition is about the quiet, everyday moments that make this place special.

What’s on the Trail?

Stroll through Olympic Way, Market Square, and Wembley Park Boulevard to discover images that blend our iconic architecture with the nature that’s moved in alongside us.

Look out for:

  • Urban Wildlife: Egyptian geese lounging in the new Union Park and bumblebees in our wildflower meadows.
  • Local Life: Kids cooling off in the Arena Square fountains and locals finding a quiet spot by the water.
  • Modern Heritage: The Freddie Mercury neon silhouette in Pink Parking and our repurposed K6 phone box galleries.

"When I first started, there were over twenty cranes on the skyline. What strikes me now is how nature has woven itself into every corner."

Chris Winter, Photographer

Make a Day of It

The exhibition is part of the Wembley Park Art Trail, meaning you can catch these photos alongside huge murals and installations by artists like Mr Doodle and Lois O’Hara.

Since it’s all outdoors, it’s completely free and open to everyone. Grab a coffee, hit the trail, and see how far we’ve come.
