London - Wembley Stadium

Wembley Stadium, the "mecca of national and international football", is situated in North London, on a site which was laid out from 1920 onwards for the British Empire Exhibition. The all-seater stadium, which can accommodate some 80,000 spectators following a £60 million re-development program, was inaugurated in 1923 after taking scarcely a year to build.
