  • Football IS Coming Home! on Sunday (11 July 2021) England Will Be Playing Italy in the Final of the Euros Football Tournament at Wembley Stadium
    Football IS coming home! On Sunday (11 July 2021) England will be playing Italy in the final of the Euros football tournament at Wembley Stadium. There is nowhere else in our country more appropriate for this historic match, but why is that? 1. Wembley Stadium and its new steps, April 2021. (Photo by Philip Grant) One hundred years ago, when the British Empire Exhibition was being planned, the then Prince of Wales, who was President of its organising committee, wanted it to include ‘a great national sports ground’. His wish was granted, and the giant reinforced concrete Empire Stadium, with its iconic twin towers, was built in just 300 days. It hosted the FA Cup final in April 1923, and a year later its first England international football match, against Scotland (a 1-1 draw). 2. The Empire Stadium at Wembley in 1924. (Image from the Wembley History Society Colln. at Brent Archives) The long-term future of the stadium was in doubt, until it was saved from demolition in 1927 by Arthur Elvin. He ensured that annual events, like the FA Cup and Rugby League Challenge Cup finals were popular days out for spectators, as well as making the stadium pay its way with regular greyhound and speedway racing meetings. Although cup finals made the stadium famous in this country, the 1948 Olympic Games put Wembley on the world map. The Olympic football final at Wembley saw Sweden beating Yugoslavia 3-1, with Denmark taking the bronze medal after a 5-3 victory over Great Britain. 3. An aerial view of Wembley Stadium during the 1937 FA Cup final.

    48 NEW STEPS FOR THE COMMUNITY, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR WEMBLEY PARK WEMBLEY PARK UNVEILS PROGRESS ON NEW OLYMPIC STEPS, DUE TO COMPLETE IN TIME FOR THE UEFA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS • Wembley Park unveils progress of the Olympic Steps and new public space the size of Wembley Stadium’s football pitch • Once complete, the 48 new steps, which are 40m wide, will replace the pedway ramps to form a fitting new entrance to the National Stadium from the iconic Olympic Way • The project includes four new high-capacity lifts, capable of taking three wheelchairs each up to the Stadium concourse • Olympic Way (known by football fans as ‘Wembley Way’) has been widened by 50%, programmable lighting has been introduced, ceremonial banners added and an avenue of 48 new trees from around the world has been planted • The re-landscaped Olympic Way includes new shops, bars and restaurants, including BOXPARK Wembley, to dramatically enhance the experience for visitors, workers and residents at Wembley Park Today, Wembley Park, one of Europe’s largest and most exciting urban regeneration projects, unveils a new milestone in developer Quintain’s major transformation of the iconic Olympic Way. The former ramps (commonly known as the pedway) that led to the Stadium concourse become the Olympic Steps and new public space is being unveiled, as the final touches are made to the completed steps. Ten years in the making, the Olympic Steps project is the fulfilment of a long-held ambition for Quintain and Brent to replace the 1970s pedway that previously divided the east and west of the neighbourhood, with a new elegant entrance to the stadium and public space.

  • London Transport Executive and the 1948 Olympic Games
    TfL Corporate Archives Subject Guides Subject Guide No 1: London Transport Executive and the 1948 Olympic Games The 1944 Olympics were to have been in London, but this was obviously impossible in view of the War, so the International Olympic Committee (IOC) offered London the 1948 Games instead. The Games were notable for their austerity, as Britain was in a very poor economic state, and there was no money for new facilities. There was a budget of £750,000, and the Games in fact made a profit of £30,000. Existing facilities had to be used, with Wembley Stadium and Empire Pool chosen as the main venues, and other sports taking place at Henley-on-Thames, Torbay, Bisley, Sandhurst, Windsor Great Park, Herne Hill and others. There was no Olympic Village, so athletes were accommodated at ex military and RAF camps at Richmond Park, Uxbridge and West Drayton, and a number of schools and colleges outside London. London Transport was involved right from the start of preparations in 1947 (Ref: LT 000232/507) and the TfL Corporate Archives holds many documents that tell the story of the organisation’s involvement. Transport by bus was to be provided for competitors and officials (Ref: LT 000232/117), with free travel passes (Ref: LT001208/114) issued, which were also valid for Underground travel. A new footbridge was provided at Wembley Park Station, and a new road named Olympic Way linked this station to Wembley Stadium. This was opened on 8 July 1948, and a booklet was produced to commemorate the event (Ref: A.B.B.
