Wembley Stadium

Price £24

Wembley Stadium is a major football stadium in Wembley in London’s northern suburbs.

The 90,000-seat stadium the largest stadium in England and the second-largest in Europe. It was open in 2007 and replaced the original Wembley Stadium which operated on the site between 1923 and 2000.

The stadium features the 134m (440 ft)-high Wembley Arch, which provides structural support for the stadium as well as being a Wembley landmark.

Wembley Stadium is the home ground for the England football team and the FA Cup final. In addition to football, the stadium also hosts the rugby league Challenge Cup final and is a popular concert venue.

It is not to be confused with the nearby Wembley Arena, an indoor sports arena built for the 1934 British Empire Games, and subsequently used for the 1948 Olympic Games and more recently as a concert venue.

What to see at Wembley Stadium

Although most people visit Wembley Stadium to watch a game or see a concert, guided tours of the stadium allow you to see behind the scenes while discovering more about the venue than is possible to a regular visitor.

The 90-minute guided tours take you into the England dressing room, the players’ tunnel and the press room. You are also able to sit in the manager’s benches and hold the (replica) Emirates FA Cup.
