Wembley Stadium is a 90,000-seater football stadium in north-west London. It is the largest stadium in the UK, the second largest in Europe, and opened in 2007, replacing the old stadium. 

Wembley hosts the FA Cup Final, the England national football team, and other big football matches like the UEFA League.

Be sure to look out for the bronze statue of Bobby Moore at the stadium entrance, which commemorates England’s 1966 World Cup win. The stadium is located about 30 minutes from central London by tube or car.

As well as sports events, the stadium has also staged music performances from renowned artists such as Oasis, U2 and Coldplay.

Aside from the matches played here, you can tour the inside of the stadium year-round, except on Wembley event days. 

Experience the awesome behind-the-scenes feel and action as your tour guide leads you to the changing rooms, the press conference room, the VIP club for a spectacular panorama of the stadium, the royal box, the exhibitions, and the stadium store. 

A VIP tour option is also available. Tours last 75 minutes and depart hourly from 10:00 to 15:00 and are priced at £19 per adult, £11 per child (under 16), with concessions paying £11. A family ticket is £45.

A post reminiscing about the Walt Disney World International College Program

It’s been about six weeks since the end of my Disney World International College Program contract and I thought I’d write a retrospective piece summing up my experience. I’m going to very quickly get those of you who didn’t read my blog up to speed. Hi, I’m Gio from the UK and this Summer (2013) I participated in the International College Program at Walt Disney World. I was an attractions cast member working at Mickey’s Philharmagic and Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel in the Magic Kingdom. My program was about ten weeks long and I successfully completed it. I had already done one set of working for Disney back in 2011 at Disneyland Paris and I suppose to some extent I expected my ICP to be very similar, but longer. I was prepared for more heat, for more guests and (hopefully!) less of a language barrier in the US. This all proved true - sure Florida was hotter than Paris, yes the Magic Kingdom is the world’s busiest theme park and yes (for the most part) I didn’t have to tra

London: Things to do and Events in February Chinese New Year Image: Paul (Flickr) 18th February 2018 Although Chinese New Year itself is on the 8th February in 2016, the celebrations will be held on the subsequent weekend.  You can celebrate the start of the Year of the Monkey all around the West End with events held on Trafalgar Square and Chinatown from 10:00 to 18:00. London’s Chinese New Year celebrations are the largest outside Asia, with parades, performances and fireworks.  At 10:00 a large lion parade makes its way from Trafalgar Square to Chinatown; from 12:00 onwards stage performances are held; and at 17:20 the grand finale begins as dancers and acrobats take to the stage, and pyrotechnics illuminate Nelson’s Column.
