Wembley Hill
Brent, London
PocketsWembley East (Park Lane · Wembley Playing Fields · King Edward VII Park · High Road)Wembley North (East Lane · King Edward VII Park · Wealdstone Brook)Wembley Park
Wembley Hill sits directly south and east of the national stadium, climbing from Wembley Park tube up toward the older villas of Wembley Hill Road. It is entirely within a conservation area and inherits the Edwardian grain of Wembley Park's first suburban phase. Listed buildings include the Grade II Wembley Hill Lodge and the Roman Catholic Church of St Joseph. Public transport is very good, with Wembley Park on the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines and frequent buses along Bridge Road, twenty-two outstanding schools are within reach, and the food-and-drink mix has broadened sharply as Wembley Park's regeneration has matured. King Edward VII Park gives ten hectares of open space a few minutes' walk away. The drawbacks: crime figures are high, driven by match-day and nightlife activity around the stadium and SSE Arena; air quality sits in the middling band thanks to the A406 and A4089; and green cover beyond King Edward VII Park is thin on the ground.

Wembley Hill, quick answers
- Is Wembley Hill safe?
- Wembley Hill scores 30 for safety, based on street-level recorded crime (police.uk) — recording more crime than most London wards.

- Is Wembley Hill a good place to live?
- Wembley Hill scores 45 overall when all nine data layers are weighted equally. The London comparison beside the score shows how that number ranks against every ward. Its strongest suits are connectivity (68) and education (62); its weakest is area development (23). Whether it suits you depends on what you weight — the same data re-ranked around your own priorities can read very differently.

- Is Wembley Hill expensive to buy in?
- Relative to the rest of London, Wembley Hill is mid-priced by London standards: its purchase-affordability score is 13/20, where higher means cheaper per square foot (HM Land Registry sold prices matched to floor areas).
