Wembley
Wembley is home to two vast entertainment spaces. Wembley Arena and Wembley Stadium. The Stadium first opened in 2007. The Arena first opened in 1934, has seen such frequent use that it has undergone a lb35 million upgrade, with works finally completed on 2nd April 2006.
Wembley Stadium
The second largest football stadium in Europe, narrowly beaten by FC Barcelona's Camp Nou, the new Wembley Stadium is worth a visit just for the stunning architecture. This was built to replace the Empire Stadium demolished in 2003, and is now the national stadium of England.
Cricklewood Studios
Once a sleepy country town, Cricklewood has been enveloped by London as the city grew. The bustling main street in Cricklewood is juxtaposed with gorgeous Victorian dwellings, pointing back to a simpler time. Cricklewood Studios, first opened in the 1930s, made the town what it is today. Eric Morecambe has commented that "it's not Hollywood, it's Cricklewood!".
Hampstead Area
Hampstead Heath is a 790 acre park famous for its rambling green fields interspersed with natural ponds and manmade outdoor pools. The heath includes an incredible host of wildlife to satisfy even the most avid nature lover.
Little Venice
Found at a junction of two of London's canals, the Regent and Grand Union canals, Little Venice is situated within Maida Vale. If you are a fan of canal boats, Little Venice is a perfect place to spot them from a caf'e or restaurant along the waterway. For those not inclined to go boat spotting, a floating puppet barge is situated at the junction and a number of gorgeous canal walks can be embarked upon from this location.
Maida Vale Studio
Among the redbrick mansions and Edwardian apartments, Maida Vale is home to a BBC Studio, running since 1946. This studio was used by John Peel, the longest serving BBC Radio One DJ, in his early career and is now the location of a wide range of classical music recordings.
St. John's Wood Area
St. John's Wood is well known among local residents as an affluent area, within the city's exclusive NW8 district. There are a large number of expensive celebrity homes in this part of the city, along with the Abbey Road Studios and Lord's Cricket Grounds. Several famous artists such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Cliff Richard have recorded albums at the 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 Region
Home to the Willesden Cycling Club, London's largest cycling club, host to a large Irish population, the setting of Zadie Smith's novel White Teeth, and receiving more and more investment every year, Willesden has been described as an up and coming area of London.
