Wembley
English football venue
Wembley is a district in northwest London, famous for its stadium.
Wembley Stadium hosts England's national football matches, major concerts, and large-scale events.
In British sports talk, "going to Wembley" means reaching a cup final: They're through to Wembley.
The original stadium, with its distinctive twin towers, was demolished in 2003 and replaced by a modern venue with an iconic arch.
