Hotels from Wembley

Hi I have bagged tix for a concert at Wembley and trying to sort a hotel. I have limited knowledge of London beyond central area.

Wembley hotel options itself is £££ and I don't think I can justify paying more for 1 night in a hotel than the mega expensive concert has already cost!

I've been looking at Finchley / Swiss Cottage, is this area safe to walk from the station to Hol Inn hotel at night for me & my 2 DD? I'm assuming the 15 min (acc to google) walk to Wembley Park Stn will be safe & busy when the arena empties out.

Last time we were down we stayed in Archway for a gig in Kentish Town, after really helpful advice on here. Hoping for more of the same again 🙏

Yes - Finchley Road / Swiss Cottage is absolutely fine. It's a busy area and there is a hotel almost opposite Finchley Road tube, think it's a premier inn or holiday inn.

This is reassuring, thanks.
I've booked us a refundable room at the SC Hol Inn so we deffo have somewhere to crash.
Just gotta hope we can get on a tube there afterwards easily with the crowds!

Premier Inn Hendon - only 15 mins by bus (83).

But yes Swiss Cottage is fine too.

@TheMeatyDropia it arena or stadium? Stadium you could be queuing an hour easily for tube. Arena will be easier.

Ok….. so the walk to Wembley Park with be an hour or more of slow shuffling interspersed with standing still! if it’s Harry Stules I think it was 12.30 before my dd got on a train last time.

There is Wembley Central but that a fair walk and a lot less people around.

The walk from the stadium to the tube will be as a PP says a slow shuffle and will take a while so just be prepared for it. It’s usually well managed and lots of security etc.

I don't mind a slow shuffle if its busy & feels safe. Bit worried about if one DD needs the loo tho post event.

Yes, it's Harry S 😁
