Home of English football one of Sunday Times' best places to live in London
Briefly

Wembley Park, formerly known as a nondescript part of Brent, has been recognized in The Sunday Times Best Places to Live 2025 guide due to its significant transformation. Following a £2.8 billion redevelopment initiated by Quintain in 2002, the area now boasts attractions such as the London Designer Outlet and Boxpark Wembley. It offers diverse cultural activities, including festivals and cooking classes, while providing access to green spaces. Despite event-day crowds, local residents appreciate the neighborhood’s vibrancy and new amenities that enhance community life.
"Long famed only for football and a gargantuan Ikea, this once nondescript corner of Brent is now one of northwest London's buzziest, most brunch-tastic neighbourhoods. This transformation is all thanks to a two-decade, 2.8 billion development of the area around the stadium."
"Wembley Park is now home to a 70-unit shopping centre, London Designer Outlet, and has established itself as the largest 'build to rent' site in the UK with 5,000 apartments set to be built by 2026."
