There will be 12 Harry Styles concert dates at Wembley Stadium over the rest of this month starting on Friday June 12th and through to July 4th,
Eight of these dates are on weekdays with road closures starting at 1pm with associated bus diversions. This will impact school children travelling home from school, particularly those using the 206 bus route which will be not run south between Wembley Park and Brent Park. This also affects workers travelling to Brent Park and the industrial estates south of the stadium, including the Amazon warehouse and the Tesco and Ikea stores.
Brent Council approved the increased number of concerts at Wembley Stadium in January 2025 with 8 more major concerts a year. A major event is defined as an attendance of more that 60,000. Decision notice:
The number of major events held at the stadium in any one calendar year shall be restricted to no more than 54 (to exclude European Cup and World Cup events where England/UK is the host nation). This shall be described as the cap. Within the event cap, the number of major events involving UK based domestic association football teams shall be restricted to no more than 25. LINK
A Wembley Hill resident contacted Wembley Matters:
Does this mean that on all these days road closures and bus diversions will be active from 1pm? Doors open 5pm. Not only that I have appointment at my doctors at Wembley Park Humphry Repton Lane which is also closed on event days, my appointment is for 4.00 p.m.on Friday.Does this mean all locals using bus services 206,92,182 and 83 are again inconvenienced with either no service or diversions.

Could we have an explanation as to how disabled patients or patients with mobility issues are able to access appointments at the Wembley Park Medical Centre on Event Days when Fulton Road is closed from 1pm?
What arrangements are in place for drop off and pick up, or waiting?
There are 3 disabled bays adjacent to the Surgery.
How are residents supposed to go about their regular daily routine with this madness of road closures no buses etc
Precisely!
Those spaces are outside of the road closures so you might be able to still drive the them?
I am pleased to announce that I did not incur any issues attending Wembley Park Medical Centre, albeit behind the barriers, disabled parking was available and the young man opening and closing the barrier as and when people requested was happy and smiling.
Great to have some positive news Jaine. Thank you.
Try it on a weekday event day in rush hour traffic!
Saturday event day traffic will be quieter coz not so many people need to get to work and everyone knows they have to avoid Wembley and go elsewhere for shopping etc.
Silly comment....getting anywhere around London at rush hour is difficult. Leave a little earlier!
Children and disabled people who need to take bus home from school or work, are not being considered, especielly the 206 and 18 route, this is surely against the law?
