Wembley
Wembley is an area in Northwest London well known for its strong football heritage. Both the 1934 Wembley Arena, and the 2007 Wembley Stadium reside in this district. The aged Wembley Arena has undergone a lb35 million upgrade, completed in 2006, to make it fit for purpose once more.
The Stadium
Wembley Stadium is a football stadium with a capacity of 90,000 built on the site of the famous Empire Stadium after its demolition in 2003. The modernised Wembley Stadium is now Europe's second largest, beaten only by Camp Nou in Barcelona, and is the national stadium of England.
Cricklewood Studios
Driving through this pretty Victorian residential area of London doesn't give you the full story about this mini Hollywood. Cricklewood was made famous by the Cricklewood Studios operating in the 1930s, of which comedian Eric Morecambe stated "life's not Hollywood, it's Cricklewood!".
Hampstead Area
A gorgeous 790 acre heath within the expanse of London provides a breath of fresh air when driving through the urban sprawl. Hampstead heath contains a variety of water features to provide a reservoir for wildlife and interest any hill walker. The assortment of water features allows a perfect space to relax.
Little Venice
At the point where Regent's Canal joins the Grand Union sits Little Venice, a beautiful slice of waterfront paradise nestled in the suburbs of London. A floating puppet barge graces the canal, along with several waterfront caf'es, restaurants, and the headquarters of the London Waterbus company. Taking a stroll along the canal is a great way to spend an evening while you soak in the beautiful surroundings offered by Little Venice.
Maida Vale Area
Maida Vale in the north of Paddington is an alluring residential area consisting of a mixture of Edwardian apartments and redbrick mansions, with trees lining the area's expansive streets. Maida Vale is popular among celebrities who are attracted by the presence of the BBC Maida Vale Studio branch opened in 1946, which was the site of the recording of many of John Peel's early programmes, and today is a classical music hotspot.
St. John's Wood
London's NW8 area, of which St. John's Wood is a part, is an especially affluent area and a popular celebrity residence. The Lord's cricket ground is found in St. John's Wood, and well known artists such as Cliff Richard, The Beatles and Pink Floyd have recorded at the historic Abbey Road Studios.
The Abbey Road Studios
After recording their album at this iconic studio, the Beatles snapped the Abbey Road album cover at the crossing nearby, naming the famous album for this road. Tourists are often seeing snapping similar pictures to try and mimic the Beatles' efforts.
Willesden
Well known for a large contingent of Irish workers, Willesden's house prices and investment are increasing leading to its designation as an 'up and coming' area of London. Willesden is also the setting for Zadie Smith's award winning novel White Teeth, and home to the largest cycling club in London, the Willesden Cycling Club.
