Traffic is awful around Wembley at the best of times.

If we go to Wembley we usually park at Stanmore tube station and tube it in (only 4 stops). G you trust them to do the short journey I would opt for this. Alternatively you could go down by tube, meet them and travel back together.

Large car park at the station

We've been to Wembley a few times recently and parked on a road off the A404 (Waverley Ave - paying to park on peoples drives), it's a quick walk to Wembley from there. There are always people parked up waiting to collect after the concert. We've always been able to make a quick getaway travelling back up north however if your daughter comes out a bit later you will end up in more traffic.

I would second the ‘ask her to take a short tube ride’ camp. She will be going with the flow up to Wembley Park and then I would suggest a trip to Harrow on the Hill. There is a car park but also a long waiting to pick up road leading into the station. Depends if you’re just coming to pick up or planning to park and have an evening of your own while waiting

I picked dd and friend up from Asda car park Wembley after Harry Styles. It worked perfectly. It was very busy but they managed to get out of the stadium sharpish after the end, so we missed most of the traffic jams. Think the sharp exit is crucial to that as a plan though!

I also recommend Stanmore for a pick up

DH used Wembley ASDA for parking the last time he went. It's just a short walk from the stadium. He said it was very good. You pay for longer stays but I imagine just dropping off and collecting would be free.

If she were to get the underground from Wembley to another station there would be a long queue to get on the train and it will be very crowded. She'll be fine but she might get to you quite a bit later than you expect.
