Great venue. Perfect size for gigs. Not too huge. Wembley Park is the closest station. There is a McDonalds on the way where you can eat before you go. And you can check your coat at the venue.

I went to my first concert here with my mum. Wembley Stadium is right next door. Awesome venue! Wembley Park station is near by. If driving, be careful where you park as you’ll end up with a heavy fee

Natasha 'Tashster' Brassington

Stage door is not always a guarantee due to garage like nature of the exit point. Lots of artists or performers will have cars waiting to pick them up already parked or cars arriving to pick them up.

Chris F

First time going here and it was an amazing concert . Saw ZZ TOP. A fantastic venue. Crowd capacity is 12500 people. Great for concerts and comedy shows.

Aerion

The staff are really friendly and helpful, and treat disabled people with respect. A shame that this experience is marred by complete and utter rip-off prices for food and drinks.

I was there to see Slayer's performing live during their last tour.Venue is excellent and sound was great (I was in S7).Queues for toilets were horrible during breaks though. More toilets please.

Jack Smith

Built originally in 1934 as an Olympic swimming pool , then converted to a concert venue in 1978. You'd think they would have figured out crowd control by now, but evidentially not!

Olympics

The 2011 BWF World Championships were held here. China took all the titles for a record third time and became the first nation to successfully defend all the titles won at the previous edition.

Bruno Belcastro

Great venue for seeing bands. Not too small, not too big.

Mike Kelly

One of the premier live concert sites in the UK. Have seen lots of musical artists and groups here. Looks great after the re-build.

Bibi Todaro

Only been here twice for Cirque du Soleil, not my favourite venue, if you have the choice get tickets for Royal Albert Hall - CdS there is magical!!

Carlos Vega

Get to the front, and see your favourite artist perform a few feet away from you. Best time guaranteed.

Ashraf Elrefaey

I was there to see Slayer during their last tour ever!Sound was great, crowd control was awesome but the place needs more toilets as there were massive queues for toilets during breaks.

Matt Barber

Venue is surprisingly easy to get in/out of. Bars aren't so crowded . Got smashed on £5.50 Fosters with ease.

Ruth Banbury

Won’t pay £5.50 for fosters but the seats are great, very friendly staff

Kostas Staveris

We came for Nickos Vertis concert , the sound ???? was great ????????

Lyd Thomp

Great for concerts and shows. The Hillsong Carol was awesome

Andy Furby

Small, for most but the artist you watch will always make it

Anar Nabiyev

Try to get flat floor tickets. The best view here for any event

Michael Easterbrook

They have introduced the white line to the standing area. So it's quite easy to advance nearer the front between bands. But if you are standing on the line , take no prisoners !

Palmers Lodge Boutique Hostels

Hosting multiple music concerts all year round only and still a very popular venue for many big events . Nearest Jubilee station Wembley Park

Romi Fried

Either sit very close to the front or up in the stands at the back. Anywhere else and good luck seeing much of the stage at all...

Colm Morgan

If you're driving up & looking to park , don't pre-book a space @ HTC. It's more expensive & horrific attendant tries to squeeze you into a matchbox. Reversing's impossible & it's one-way to get back.

Stuart Ritchie

Call ahead to book if you're thinking about eating at the on-site restaurant . You might get lucky, but if you book you can relax

Fiona Hodge

The sound might be marginally better than the O2 - but queues for the bar are outrageously long, and it's like they don't seem to know how to manage big crowds of people.

Kris Curtis

Make sure to fill your water bottle up at the water coolers as you enter as its warm inside. More men's toilets on the 1st floor North side.

ESPN

Be prepared to see some unreal hand-eye coordination on display here for the Badminton competition during London 2012.

Tim

Go to the loo before finding your seat. Some of the steps are quite steep & it's good to minimise return trips to the concourse.

Lauren GB

Don't be fooled into queuing for the front of house merch stand! There is another by the standing entrance with no queue!

Choo Ho

Went to gem tang concert . Small but good view

Daniel

Great venue! And easy to get to

Karolis

The sound during Hans Zimmer concert was on point.

Lee Tomes

Great venue. Especially if you are in the seating area.

Tom TJ

Slash and Miles Kennedy. They've improved the venue facilities.

Sarah Spies

Fantastic! So excited to explore the shopping mall next door eek

Plamen Stoyanov

Best for concert , good sound

Tobias Friedrich

Great for concerts

Thrash Hits

Only the biggest bands play here (unless they're supporting, of course). There are only a few food stall outside or nearby to the venue so it would be wise to eat (and drink) well before you get here. Read more

Amelia Armstrong

queue up early and bring things to do!! It's so worth it

Aerion

Be prepared to pay£5 for a pint of crappy Fosters , £5.80! for an equally disgusting pint of Heineken , or £4.90!! for a 330ml bottle of Bulmers cider is criminal.

Claire Thompson

What’s on!

Добри Караджов

There should be more men's toilets

Denis N

£7.50 pints for the win

IMPACT WRESTLING

IMPACT WRESTLING returns to the United Kingdom for the “2012 MAXIMUM IMPACT IV” Tour on Sat Jan 28 in London. Tix @ ticketmaster.co.uk!

Andr? Thomas

It was amazing, got a red carpet treatment as i was a guest... Lies i was working in it

Kevin McCulley

What can you say that's not been said?

Сергей П

No coat check , no lockers to put your winter jacket into.

Oscar

great for Wrestling

David Wilkes

Book car park before you get there saves hassle
