Best areas near Wembley stadium for a family to stay

[Festivalmitch]

Hello
We are taking 2 teenagers to Wembley Stadium in June. They are off to see Taylor Swift (we arent). Can anyone recommend any decent / nice areas or places to stay? I don't know this part of London at all. The teenagers need to be able to travel independently and safely.

We are going to spend the rest of the weekend doing the tourist thing in central london so would like to be close to overground or tube.

Thank you

There are lots of large hotels within a short walk of the stadium and Wembley Park tube station. There’s a Premier Inn, an Ibis, Novotel, Holiday Inn, Hilton etc. Although there are thousands of rooms, they will book up quickly for major events, though.

We have stayed at the premier inn just next to the stadium which was perfect. The queue for the tube was huge so we were very smug to stroll straight into the hotel. There was also a security guard on the door in the evening checking bookings so felt safe too.

i agree with the above.
there are numerous modern hotels now near the stadium, and of course it's a short hop to the tube at wembley park, for the grown-ups to get into town.

thanks for your replies.

They are seeing Taylor Swift - I thought I was being organised looking for something now but so much is booked up or £££££££

personally, i always found express by holiday inn good,
esp the breakfast ;
self-service and plenty of choice, and plenty of food for teenage appetites !

Good Luck !

My dd is going to, I booked our accom before she was lucky enough to get a ticket.
All the hotels nearby were £££ and the Travelodge was £££ - pretty sure the Travelodge bumped up their price for that weekend.

We are staying in Golders Green as it's a respectable area and the bus goes directly to Wembley - tho I may drive and drop her off, I can decide that weekend.

We have a room in what I would call a B+B, but we also have an airb+b booked just incase any of her friends get tickets too.

Wembley isn't a nice area, and the hotels know they've got you over a barrel. A short tube/train journey further out gets you to better places and probably cheaper for accommodation. Would that be a possibility?

Watford Junction is a short trip to Wembley on the overground now known as the Lioness line.

20 minutes on fast train into Euston and central London. That accepts oyster and/or contactless payment so nice and easy.

Wembley is a great place to stay due to the quantity of available parking and the good selection of restaurants around the designer outlet next door (it’s not in Wembley itself which isn’t great but you’ve no reason to go there). We often stay there as it’s easy to access from the M40, 30 mins by tube to central London, parking available and being next to the stadium/seeing it lit up at night has a bit of a major landmark buzz to it (for us non-Londoners/football fans! 🤣) id always pay more to stay there than some random suburb, though less than central London.

@CranfordScones - yes we'd be happy to stay out of Wembley - it doesn't look too great.

what we'd ideally like is to spend no more than £700 (we are purely the chaperones so it's hurting our bank cards having to spend so much to facilitate the kiddos....the things we do eh).

we had imagined that they would be able to independently get to the concert and we could go for dinner and meet them later on.

You need to have booked anything near months ago.

You need to consider how they will get back meet you if you are not comfortable with them doing the whole journey alone - it could potentially take 2 hours to get on a tube if you go from Wembley Park so
You are potentially just looking at night tube routes.

Wembley Central is much quieter but it is a fair bit of a walk and I don't want my 16yo doing that alone - she is also going and she's solo and I don't know what to do for the best for her getting home.

Wembley Park by the station is pretty nice with the new developments, Olympic Wayand the outlet village. The Novotel is nice there. Wembley Central is less nice but the area around the stadium and station is just fine and there are quite a few hotels to choose from. If everything is booked up you could try hotels in Alperton which is say 10 mins in the car or a bit more on the bus from the stadium. Worse to the worse go one stop up or down the Met line.

thanks @ouch321 . I’ll check
out Alperton

Be careful relying on busses - they often close all the stops near the station and divert the routes because there are tens of thousands of people on the streets!

West End Live is the same weekend so Central London may be just as booked up/Expensive (although granted you have more options)

But have a look at places around Kings Cross/Euston or along the Jubilee line, to be honest once you get into central most of Zone 1 is walkable so it doesn't matter a huge amount

have you looked at hotels near finchley road station.
it's a nice area, convenient for west end, also metropolitan line for wembley park.

personally, i would avoid alperton.
not such a nice area.
more for commercial travellers, with cars.
not a tourist area, and wouldn't want my teens walking around there after dark, esp out-of-towners.
