Quick Facts

Events at the Arena

The OVO Arena Wembley is a landmark music and entertainment venue with a long history, hosting major touring concerts, live shows, comedy and events in the heart of the Wembley entertainment district, right by the stadium. Its location means event nights — especially when the stadium has an event too — bring huge crowds to Wembley, straining local transport, so a fixed-price transfer that drops you close and collects you after is the civilised way to enjoy a show.

Getting There

By Public Transport

Wembley Park and Wembley Central serve the area, but are packed on event nights.

By Taxi / Transfer

Door-to-venue, fixed price, and a pickup after — skip the post-event crush.

By Car

Event-night parking around Wembley is limited and busy.

💡 Wembley events draw big crowds: On busy nights, especially with the stadium also in use, Wembley's transport gets swamped. A pre-booked pickup at an agreed spot lets you avoid the worst — fixed price, no surge, no long queue.

Making a Night of It

An event at the OVO Arena Wembley pairs with the wider Wembley Park district's bars, restaurants and the London Designer Outlet for shopping, food and drinks before or after. For a group heading to a concert or show, a fixed-price transfer makes the night easy: everyone travels together, no one worries about the packed Tube or driving, and an agreed pickup afterwards beats the crush. Whether it's a big-name concert or a family show, having the travel sorted lets you enjoy the night at this historic Wembley arena.

A Historic Venue in a Modern District

Understanding the OVO Arena Wembley's heritage and its place in the transformed Wembley Park district adds to the experience of a visit. The arena has a long and distinguished history: opened in 1934 as the Empire Pool for the British Empire Games, it was later known for decades as Wembley Arena, becoming one of the UK's most important and best-loved indoor music venues, hosting an incredible array of legendary concerts and events over the years — countless famous artists have played here, and it remains a landmark name in live entertainment despite its sponsorship-led renaming. Today it sits within Wembley Park, a district utterly transformed in recent years from a place people simply passed through on the way to events into a vibrant destination in its own right. Alongside the arena and the neighbouring national stadium, the area now boasts the London Designer Outlet with its shops, restaurants and cinema, an expanding array of bars and eateries, public squares and gardens, and a growing residential community, all giving the district a lively, contemporary buzz that complements the historic venues. This means a night at the OVO Arena can easily extend into an evening out, with plenty to enjoy before and after a show. Well connected by multiple stations, Wembley is easy to reach, though event nights inevitably bring crowds. Understanding the arena's storied past and the modern district that now surrounds it shows why it remains such a popular destination — and a fixed-price transfer keeps the journey there and home smooth.
