Brent

Brent’s most famous feature is the legendary Wembley Stadium, the home of English football. Wembley Arena also attracts huge crowds and is one the capital’s largest music venues. Brent is a multi-cultural heartland and offers fascinating glimpses into London’s many faiths. For example, the Hindu Temple in Neasden, the Shiri Swaminarayam Mandir, was carved in India but assembled in North London and rises spectacularly out of its urban surroundings.

For shoppers, the famous Swedish furniture store IKEA is located within the borough, as is Wembley market which boasts a good selection of clothes, jewellery, food and bric-a-brac. Esacpe the city buzz at the Welsh Harp Reservoir and Fryent Country Park or enjoy a walk along the tow path of the Grand Union Canal.
