Choosing a university to attend is almost as difficult as trying to decide where to live in London. I was certain that I wanted to spend my first year in London living in student housing in order to get to know the city and the neighborhoods that appealed to me. Additionally, I wanted to be among peers my own age who faced comparable academic challenges and deadlines. I knew I would always have something to discuss with other students because I was in a student hall. I eventually found Wembley Park in Zone 4 while looking.
Wembley Park: A Village of Students
Wembley Park: A Guide to the Neighbourhood Rachel West, an international student blogger, is meeting friends at the International Busking Festival in Wembley. I knew very little about the region except that the London Designer Outlet and Wembley Stadium were located there. I really began learning more about the Wembley Park area when I moved into my apartment at Scape Wembley, and I became even more enamored with it. Westminster is among the student accommodation alternatives available at Wembley. Wembley Park genuinely feels like a “Student Village” because of the large number of students, cafes, pubs, and restaurants around, all within 15 minutes of downtown London.
Admittedly, I was concerned about being in Zone 4, which is far from the heart of London.
However, I think it is a lot of fun to commute into Zone 1. I feel like a native and am reminded of how lucky I am to live in London by the excitement of going back to the city every day!
The Chiltern Railways at Wembley Stadium Station, the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines at Wembley Park Station, the London Midland and Southern lines from Wembley Central Station, the London Overground, and the Bakerloo line all offer good access to Wembley. Additionally, it has a first-rate transit system for both day and nighttime travel. Having this kind of transportation was essential to me since, even though Wembley is only fifteen minutes from Baker Street, it felt far away. This is faster than most of my peers in Zone 1.
An individual from the London local community
One of the main reasons I love Wembley is that there is always something going on there. Almost every night, there is a game, concert, or other local event to go to. For me as a new London resident, this was essential. I knew that I could be involved in my community almost every day at Wembley. I also conduct a lot of events in my dorm to bring the building together.

They regularly hold fitness clinics, yoga classes, and open mic nights. The community center serves Brent as a whole.
This implies that every time you go to a class or event, you have the opportunity to meet new people. It meant a lot to me to have the Yellow so near to home. It allowed me to go out and socialize with new people in a place I knew well.
The quantity of shops and supermarkets in the region was another crucial consideration for me. Lidl, ASDA, Tesco Extra, Sainsbury’s Local, JD Sports, Curry’s PC World, and Butler’s—a Scape favorite—are all within walking distance. You can eat, shop, or watch a movie at the London Designer Outlet. There are several different restaurants there, and I frequently go to Treatz with a friend for dessert late at night. The neighborhood is perfect for anyone on a tight budget because it is less expensive than Zone 1.
Shopping and dining out

Wembley Boxpark
Boxpark Wembley has become one of my new favorites. They are made up of street food sellers from all across London and always have fantastic events going on. Cut + Grind and The Athenian are my particular favorites. Additionally, they host Movie Mondays, which is a fantastic way to pass the time on a Monday night. In addition to hosting afterparties for athletic events and concerts, they also invite celebrities to events and provide student nights and discounts.
There is something for everyone at Boxpark, which was the first restaurant my family went to when we moved to Wembley.
Not to be overlooked is Wembley Central. I usually enjoy getting a cake from Cake Box or dining at JJ Moon’s when I visit. Primark and T.K. Maxx are two excellent places to shop in this region. On a pleasant day, you may walk there or take a 15-minute bus ride from Wembley Park. You will see the aspect of Wembley that remains distinctive and well-liked by the inhabitants in any case.
The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple was one location I unintentionally discovered.The discovery of this lovely (and free to enter) temple in the heart of Neasden, just a few bus stops from Wembley Park, caught me completely off guard. The temple has fantastic events and is a friendly location to visit.
