Olympic Way, more commonly (and erroneously) known as Wembley Way, is the road that links Wembley Park tube station and Wembley Stadium in London, England. Thousands of spectators walk along it to every event as the road leads directly into the stadium. The road is an easy access from the London Underground system to the stadium, and travels in a north-south direction.
Wembley way was built several years after World War II by German POWs still held captive by the UK. Originally they were intended to be used for picking up refuse during the games, but their duties were changed due to criticism in the press; ""It is fair to assume that the Ministry of Labour will think very hard before indenting for a slave squad to operate quite so publicly and before quite so many overseas visitors." Instead they were put on less visible construction details.[1] (See Forced labor of Germans after World War II)
