Wembley
Wembley is an area in Northwest London well known for its strong football heritage. Both the 1934 Wembley Arena, and the 2007 Wembley Stadium reside in this district. The aged Wembley Arena has undergone a lb35 million upgrade, completed in 2006, to make it fit for purpose once 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 Studios
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 Area
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
At the point where Regent's Canal joins the Grand Union sits Little Venice, a beautiful slice of waterfront paradise nestled in the suburbs of London. A floating puppet barge graces the canal, along with several waterfront caf'es, restaurants, and the headquarters of the London Waterbus company. Taking a stroll along the canal is a great way to spend an evening while you soak in the beautiful surroundings offered by Little Venice.
Maida Vale
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.
NW8
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.
The Abbey Road Studios
The Beatles fans among us will instantly recognise the iconic Abbey Road as the setting of their famous album by the same name. They recorded it at the Abbey Road Studios. Tourists frequently cross this road and recreate the album cover for photos of their own.
Willesden Region
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.
