Wembley Stadium - big building site

Wembley Arena - big shed with Busted's poster on the front of it.

There's quite a nice Thai restaurant on the way to the Arena coming from the from the tube station (but I can't for the life of me rememebr what it's called - sorry). It's 2 doors down from a bar called the Blue Shack.

Wembley's not the nicest area in London so I'd head straight to the venue. As I recall, its not a million miles from tube to arena, although it'll likely be very busy when you go.

Out of the arena and up the hill, there's a pub on your elft that is child friendly and does good food, looking up the road name for you now....

OK - pub isn't marked on autoroute 04, but walking away from Wembley Arena it's about 2/3 of the way up the hill and on your left (heading towards preston road/east lane).

It's down a small driveway with speedbumps and has a beer garden, you cannot miss it. Loads of good pie and chips type stuff on the menu and friendly atmosphere. Good choice of beer IIRC too.

There's a MacDonalds a couple of minutes walk away.

Oh sorry, you said "nice".
