Olympic Way. Public realm works are in  progress
Once in a while I like to give my Friends from the South (the south of Brent that is) a photographic update on the development around Wembley Stadium and now increasingly in Wembley High Road. It may also enable local Wembley people to keep track of these rapid developments.

New blocks have narrowed the view of the Stadium
Once visible from Olympic Way, the Civic Centre is now only glimpsed between the blocks
The Pedway, soon to be replacd by steps, new build on right
The open space is now over-shadowed
Another block rises at the side of the stadium

The Civc Centre veranda used to have a view of the stadium...
Ever closer proximity
Near Wembley Stadium station
Mahatma Gandhi House, Wembley Hil Road, has been demolished. A 10/21 storey block is to be built here
Opposite, Cottrell House has been demolished, 9 storey block here
York House, Wembley Hill Road, an Ark primary free school to be built on the car park

Flats replacing Brent House on the High Road, stretch back to new Ark Elvin site
Playing fields at Ark Elvin, the academy  that replaced Copland High
Former green space set aside for Elsely Primary School expansion
The new Ark Elvin building. The old building on the High Road will be demolished & replaced with flats & retail
'Luxury' apartments on the High Road
Crane in place at junction of High Road and Park Lane. The 'Twin Towers' will be two and a half times as tall as the block to the left...
...and just three storeys short of the West Hendon tower that can be seen for miles
For relief, something on a human scale - Chalkhill Park
