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.
The 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
Driving through this pretty Victorian residential area of London doesn't give you the full story about this mini Hollywood. Cricklewood was made famous by the Cricklewood Studios operating in the 1930s, of which comedian Eric Morecambe stated "life's not Hollywood, it's Cricklewood!".
Hampstead Heath
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
Little Venice, situated where London's Regent's Canal meets the Grand Union, accommodates a large amount of water-borne activity from all over London. The picturesque views across the tree lined waterways can be enjoyed from one of the caf'es or restaurants along the edge of the canal. The canals spurting from Little Venice are all as gorgeous as the location itself, making the area perfect for evening walks.
Maida Vale Area
BBC Studios Maida Vale, currently a site of a large amount of classical music recording, was responsible for many of the original John Peel (a Radio One DJ) recordings. Since its foundation in 1946 a host of celebrities have flocked to Maida Vale to occupy the Edwardian apartments and redbrick mansions found in the area, making it more affluent.
NW8
London's NW8 area, of which St. John's Wood is a part, is an especially affluent area and a popular celebrity residence. The Lord's cricket ground is found in St. John's Wood, and well known artists such as Cliff Richard, The Beatles and Pink Floyd have recorded at the historic Abbey Road Studios.
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
This up and coming area of London houses a large contingent of Irish nationals, and is beginning to see an increase in house prices and a welcome influx of investment. The area has several interesting attributes: the Willesden Cycling Club is the largest in London and the award winning novel White Teeth written by Zadie Smith is set in this area.
