Wembley
A name synonymous with football, Wembley is a great place to connect with sport. The newly constructed Wembley Stadium and recently renovated Wembley Arena are great attractions to visit for the atmosphere they provide and the memories they invoke. The lb35 million Wembley Arena renovations were eventually completed on 2nd April 2006. As well as this strong sporting tradition, the venues are also famously involved with popular artists such as Abba, Barbra Streisand, The Cure, and many more.
Wembley Stadium
Built on the site of the legendary 'Twin Towers' Wembley Stadium, the new stadium is the second largest in Europe with a capacity of 90,000. Football enthusiasts will have no trouble recalling Wembley Stadium, England's national stadium and home of the higher tier FA Cup games.
Cricklewood Area
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
A gorgeous 790 acre heath within the expanse of London provides a breath of fresh air when driving through the urban sprawl. Hampstead heath contains a variety of water features to provide a reservoir for wildlife and interest any hill walker. The assortment of water features allows a perfect space to relax.
Little Venice Canals
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
Maida Vale in the north of Paddington is an alluring residential area consisting of a mixture of Edwardian apartments and redbrick mansions, with trees lining the area's expansive streets. Maida Vale is popular among celebrities who are attracted by the presence of the BBC Maida Vale Studio branch opened in 1946, which was the site of the recording of many of John Peel's early programmes, and today is a classical music hotspot.
St. John's Wood Area
Also home to a large number of celebrities, St. John's Wood is one of the more expensive areas of London, situated in the prestigious NW8 area of the city. The famous Abbey Road Studios, a pioneering venue for recording musicians such as The Beatles, Cliff Richard and Pink Floyd resides in the area, as does the Lord's cricket ground.
Abbey Road Studios
The famous Beatles album takes its name from Abbey Road, and image on the cover of the album was even taken on the crossing here. This is mimicked by thousands of tourists every year.
Willesden
Well known for a large contingent of Irish workers, Willesden's house prices and investment are increasing leading to its designation as an 'up and coming' area of London. Willesden is also the setting for Zadie Smith's award winning novel White Teeth, and home to the largest cycling club in London, the Willesden Cycling Club.
