Euro 2020 has once again brought a lot of focus to Wembley and while the iconic stadium is getting the (three) lion’s share of the attention, the area as a whole continues to undergo large-scale redevelopment. This is not just bringing thousands of band new home to the area, but also significant new retail and commercial facilities too, including the much-admired Wembley Designer Outlet.
In addition to residential properties to buy, there is also much being constructed specifically to rent, and there’s a host of student and hotel accommodation too. This reflects the area’s exceptional connectivity, as it provides those working, studying or visiting central London easy access to the heart of the capital at a fraction of the price demanded in ‘Zone 1’. Located in Zone 4, Wembley has a number of stations served by Underground, Overground and National Rail services, and it’s well connected by road too, with the A40 and A406 North Circular a few minutes away and Heathrow Airport within a half-hour drive.
There are a host of developments in and around Wembley right now and the WhatHouse? team has put together a summary of the best developments with new build homes for sale.
