Wembley Stadium

Wembley Stadium was a successive pair of stadia with an adjacent arena, located in Wembley Park in the Borough of Brent, an area of northwest London, England. Circa 996, the land was known as "Wemba's Lea". The lea (meaning meadow or clearing) belonged to the Anglo-Saxon lord Wemba. (COMIC: They Think It's All Over)

In 996, the Eleventh Doctor accidentally took Amy Pond and Rory Williams to Wemba's Lea, having intended to bring them to a football match at Wembley Stadium in 1996. (COMIC: They Think It's All Over)

In 1924, the Ninth Doctor took Rose Tyler to the British Empire Exhibition where, at the end, they saw Wembley Stadium, formally known as the Empire Stadium. (PROSE: The Clockwise Man)

The Fifth Doctor took Peri Brown to the FA Cup Final on 25 April 1936 at Wembley Stadium soon after she met the Doctor in Lanzarote. There, they watched Arsenal take on Sheffield United and the Doctor tried to educate the young American in the sport of football. (PROSE: The Church of Football)

In 1969, the Eighth Doctor, Sam Jones and Fitz Kreiner confronted the Revolution Man at Wembley Stadium. (PROSE: Revolution Man)

The World Cup Final in Wembley Stadium took place in 2030, with the Eleventh Doctor calling it "one of the greatest football matches in history!" He meant to take Amy Pond here, but instead they ended up on a space station. (COMIC: Apotheosis)

In 2164, Dortmun was killed by three Daleks in front of the adjacent Palace of Engineering in which Barbara Wright and Jenny were hiding. The pair commandeered a lorry from the museum, which Barbara drove through a Dalek cordon in front of the former H.M. Government Pavilion. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth)
