Accommodation 

A few companies (including Premier Inn, Holiday Inn, Ibis, Hilton) have hotels very near to Wembley Stadium and Arena and they are probably the best option if you are only there for the event and want to stay over somewhere nearby. It is also possible to get into the city centre in less than 15 minutes on the Underground, but if you want to be closer to the vibrant city life, there is plenty of accommodation nearer the city centre. Booking a hotel near a Metropolitan or Jubilee line station is recommended for easy access to Wembley.

Restaurants 

It is, of course, possible to get some fast food in the stadium or arena, but if you’re looking for a proper meal before the event there are some good restaurants near Wembley. However, as the stadium is situated in a residential/office area of London, there is not a huge choice of restaurants to choose from in the immediate neighbourhood.

While lovers of Asian food will have no problem finding a good meal within walking distance from the stadium, fans of other cuisines may prefer to look for a restaurant in central London. The area around Baker Street Underground has plenty of restaurants, and is convenient to catch the Tube to Wembley Park (Jubilee or Metropolitan Line).

You're sure to find a restaurant near Wembley or just a Tube ride away to suit your tastes and your budget. Browse some recommended restaurants on the map and listed below and find your ideal pre- or post-event cuisine.

ChennaiDosa 

ChennaiDosa serves Southern Indian food which has received great reviews, and has some tasty treats, too. Indian expats state in their reviews that it feels like being back home.

There are two restaurants directly next to each other in Wembley – one purely vegetarian and one that also serves meat dishes.

As the name suggests, dosa (pancake made from black lentils and rice batter) is their signature dish and highly recommended. Also worth a try: ooththappam (sometimes referred to as Indian pizza) and sambar (vegetable stew). It is great value for money and good food with a very cosy and homely atmosphere.

Vegetarian: 3 Ealing Road, HA0 2AA | Non-vegetarian: 529 High Road, HA0 2AA - Tel: 0044 (0) 20 87 82 88 22

Blue Check 

With a wide range of dishes to choose from, everyone will find something they fancy on Blue Check’s menu. Pasta, pizza, burgers and salads all come in good portion sizes and at very reasonable prices. Be sure to book a table beforehand as Blue Check’s food and the friendly staff enjoy a good reputation and it can therefore be very busy.

Bombay Dreams 

The restaurant serves Indian Punjabi cuisine in a cheerful atmosphere. The food is good, cheap and gives you a taste of authentic Indian food.

On Friday and Saturday nights, you can also visit the restaurant’s own night club, which is known for its great mix of music that ensures the dance floor is never empty.

Ecco Cafe & Sandwich Bar 

Looking at Ecco from the outside, you would probably not expect it, but all the people in suits that roll in every lunch time from the surrounding offices give it away: The Ecco Café serves great home-made food.

Besides the obvious sandwiches, they also make pizza, pasta and other hot dishes. The café is also perfect for a good cup of coffee which you can enjoy in the small back garden if the weather allows.

Nando’s 

Nando’s is by no means an insider tip as it is one of the UK’s most loved restaurant chains. The restaurant is most famous for its Portuguese peri-peri chicken and generally specialises in chicken dishes, but also offers other meat and vegetarian options.
