The area known as Wembley Park originated in 1793, when the Page family commissioned the landscape architect Humphry Repton, who had recently laid out Brondesbury Park, to landscape the grounds of his country mansion. After 1887 this 'park' was acquired by the Metropolitan Railway and developed into a recreation centre. Wembley Park became famous throughout the country after 1894, when along with the railway station a stadium was built on the grounds and the Football Cup Final held there in 1923. Its fame spread worldwide when it was selected by the Government to house the British Empire Exhibition of 1924-25. With further development, the 'park' gave way to an industrial estate, conference and exhibition centres housing the Wembley Arena, hotels and the famous Wembley Sunday Market.

The area of north west London that is served by the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines tube station named Wembley Park is an area under constant regeneration. The Twin Towers of that famous stadium are now being replaced by a state-of-the-art 21st century football stadium and new shopping and residential precints. The station itself has undergone extensive modernisation and expansion to prepare it for the increased traffic. Even a world scale casino has been mooted. The rundown concrete tower blocks of the 'infamous' Chalkhill housing estate have been replaced by more salubrious smaller brick and tiled houses comprising modern maisonettes.

To the north of Wembley Park station are the substantial detached houses of the Barn Hill estate and Greenhill and the Paddocks. To the east is the new Chalkhill and to the south the industrial/commercial zones of the original 'park', also comprising the stadium, and the housing along Wembley Park Drive.

Wembley Park is well-supplied with shopping facilities, the most notable being the Asda Superstore entered from Forty Lane. There is a parade of shops on Bridge Street including groceries, banks, cafes, restaurants bars. Further down off Olympic Way there is a McDonald, Lidl, Curreys Electricals and JD Sports. Off Fulton Way there is an MFI furniture superstore, Comet Electricals, Allied Carpets, Carpetright and Harveys furniture.
