Wembley is an area located in North-West London, England which forms the northern part of the London Borough of Brent. It is located 8 miles (13 km) north-west of Charing Cross.

Wembley is the location of the English national football stadium, Wembley Stadium, and the Wembley Arena, a major concert venue. The area has been called the most diverse in the UK, with large populations of Asian, Afro-Caribbean, African, Irish, South American and Eastern European people [1]. Although home of the famous stadium the overall area is generally poor with a crime rate amongst the highest in the borough. It is also home to Fountain Studios where hit shows such as The X Factor & Britain's Got Talent are filmed.
