Wembley Park station is only a 4-minute walk away, and has direct connections to Central London.
Wembley Parade, HA9 Reviews
Write a Review Upload PhotosThe service quality is superb throughout.
I visited every site Anthology built in London, Wembley Parade is the only architecture consist of beautiful curves and sharp edges. Although it’s interiors are not topping out among others, it still has important features like a MVHR system and full Siemens appliance.
The site is smartly designed to be embraced by a creek & the greens which renders a tranquil atmosphere facing north. South-facing rooms are abundant of sunlight and the views are smartly preserved despite of the central oval tower.
The flat completed before it’s estimation day which is amazing as one more week of delay would put me in rather difficult situation because of the pandemic outbreak. Now that my health is well protected by living in this fort.
The Anthology flat managers are super friendly and efficient in quickly solving small issues with my initial moving in and is consistently monitoring the site like it’s own babies. The service quality is superb throughout.

Wembley Park is the only location I could find where a sleek living experience meet spacious public areas, and quite some green as well. Perhaps the best commute flat I could find among London new developments with an affordable price.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
wish I would have been informed of the high-rise student home building higher than the main tower right across the site.
If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:
Space utilisation is hard problem for my floor plan – I guess they tried the best but there’re a few pieces of small corner spaces I couldn’t really use well. aka. utility cupboards.

Nice building, weak management
It’s a nice property, very modern. Not many facilities but I don’t use gym etc anyway, so not a problem for my part. The common areas are reasonably well maintained, apartment unit itself is spacious and we designed.
Only feature that is odd is sinks. They don’t drain very well, and design of toilet taps makes them hard to turn on and off.
Building management is unresponsive, and often get the feeling that they’re content giving pro forma answers rather than genuinely trying to address resident problems. For instance, when we asked manager to come have a look at a creaking pipe next to our front door, he claimed to have come by our apartment and not to have heard any creaking sounds. At no point did he even bother knocking on our door to check with us what the problem was. Had to get a separate contractor in who spotted issue immediately. Disappointing and occasionally lazy management overall.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Near stadium and tube, so many amenities. But lacking in local restaurants, and sometimes tube not reliable.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That management would be so weak, and that sinks would take time to drain.

Living at Anthology, Wembley Park
The development has a real “wow” factor as you walk to it – the design of the building and outdoor area really make it feel like a neighbourhood and really well kept
Shame regarding lack of facilities that other developments offer such as a gym and 24 concierge (to receive larger deliveries), etc but nonetheless we love living here!
During the move in process we found it awkward with no automatic doors and they’re pretty heavy doors..
The maintenance fee is pretty hefty and the lift has been broken for a few weeks and no surfaces or carpets look as though they’ve been cleaned
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
We love the Wembley Park area; very clean, tidy and buzzing with energy – no need to venture out too much as we have a cinema, shopping centre, Box Park and bars and restaurants, etc!
I have lived in many places around London and Wembley park is by far the best place to live! So much to do and see and the new builds and improvements in the area give it a real sense of luxury
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We absolutely love it here – thank you! 🙂
What is the best feature of your home:
We particularly love the wooden flooring and en suite bathroom – gorgeous features!
very secluded and peaceful area development considering its in busy Wembley park!
Great location & development
The design of the building is great, taking advantage of the small brook/river running behind the development to give you a feel that you aren’t in London anymore.
I love the bike storage availability to all users & the security available with cameras everywhere. I don’t have children but I like to added touch of the children’s playground and ping pong tables.
The property management team are very responsive & take good care of the communal areas.

The Anthology development in Wembley is in a great location just a stone’s throw away from the London Designed Outlet for shopping, Boxpark for food & drink and my bread ahead for freshly baked goods. You can also take benefit from the amazing food on offer on Wembley High Street.
Best of all, it is 2 stops on the met line from Baker Street, making it very easy access into central london.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
View the flat at different points of the day to see what level of sunlight you receive.
If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:
I would love a bit more direct sunlight in the living room but cannot complain otherwise!
Lovely place to live, with a few caveats
On the whole, the building is well designed. It’s rare to have any green space so I am super thankful that there is grass, benches and plants outside.
I prefer that the building has fewer facilities than others as we wouldn’t get much use out of them and would have to pay an inflated service charge.
I do wish some of the building was built to a higher quality, though. It’s obviously a new development so still looks great but I fear certain aspects may not stand the test of time. Anthology have been good at remedial works, however, as there was an issue with the doors that they have since sorted.
Alex – the maintenance guy – is absolutely amazing and takes great care of the development, as does the lady who cleans whose name I don’t know! Soundproofing is surprisingly good as I haven’t heard too much of the student parties.

Wembley Park is a great place to live, with fantastic transport links, places to eat, get coffee. A lot of money has been spent on developing the area so it’s very shiny-looking. It feels safe to walk down Olympic Way in the dark as a woman as it’s well lit.
Cons: lack of parking, football fans can cause some mess and disruption, an awful lot of construction going on in the local area, a decent amount of the restaurants are chains and it would be nice to see more independent businesses. The Metropolitan line can also be a bit temperamental, particularly if you need to get an Aldgate service
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The district heating system cannot be changed. We will be stuck with the same provider even if prices go up massively, which it looks like they may soon.
Flat can be quite dark on the whole as there is not much sunlight, but this means the flat stays cool in the summer.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
There seems to be a high turnover of staff at Rendall and Rittner who, thus far, have not caused us any issues but also therefore have not answered any of my suggestions. There’s a nice reed diffuser that gets rotated around the blocks but it would be quite nice to have one in each block.
Overall OK, but a few improvements can be made
Whilst the layout of the complex and the flats is good the quality of the some part lacks. The door handles on the individual flats aren’t attached with a through screw and instead have smaller screws which causes the door handles to pull out. The paint in the bathroom stains the wall in warm temperatures when condensation occurs. The stairwell looks like it hasn’t been completed either with the concrete being shown with paint marks on it. Finally the bedroom wall moves near the window which has resulted in a small crack in the paintwork
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Really enjoy the area, plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. Good transport links into central as well
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There is quite a lot of student accommodation around the area. During the “freshers week” it can be quite noisy however as Covid has affected this years university studies I’m not sure if this will change for better or worse going forwards
What is the best feature of your home:
The location, the balcony and the communal space are all a plus
Friendly and responsive management, in a very good located and modern building
Management is friendly and responsive. They react promptly when an issue is reported.
Design is modern and elegant.
I don’t come from the Uk and in other countries that I have lived, I have had better quality amenities, but I think they are still good.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Area is perfect, close to the station, close to shops, quiet, but you easily access lively areas
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The building is quite quiet. I watch movies quite loud, but it does not disturb anyone. I guess the sound proofing is quite good.
If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:
Some of the fittings, like the quality of the taps, the outside doors, hotter water, underfloor heating
Not bad value. Good transport links. Too many students.
Design is not bad. Our flat is very small, but the kitchen is quite a nice modern design with matte finish units. We’ve noticed the quality in a few areas is not the best, e.g. with chipping paint and bad seals around the shower. Have had no issues with building management. The outdoor area is kept quite tidy.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Nice to have a big ASDA and a Lidl both within walking distance. There are some nice food options in Box Park (a few mins walk). Also only a few mins walk from Wembley Park underground which has good connections to central London which is nice. It’s a bit close to the road so there is some traffic noise as well as construction noise from the buildings opposite. There are loads of students around so obviously there is a lot of noise and sometimes anti-social behaviour from them. We had an issue recently with a large party in one of the flats opposite where the police where in involved.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It’s good to be aware that this is a student area, so there are lots of students in the area and in the building. It’s also good to be aware of the large events (e.g. football games) that take place in Wembley stadium which create a lot of noise and sometimes difficulty getting back home, e.g. from the station
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The couch in the living room (the flat came furnished) is very bad quality and the springs are pushing up from the bottom of the couch and it’s quite uncomfortable. We’ve mentioned to the flat manager some months ago and chased up a few times, but nothing has been done to replace it yet.
Excellent, modern apartments in a great location
The construction quality is great. We were looking for a sleek, modern building in a great location, and Wembley Parade was the best one we found after a long search.
The apartments are modern, well designed, have a stylish finish, and in three or four months of living here, we have not had any issues with the fixtures, which are of a high quality. We particularly love the large living room, the spacious balcony, and the beautifully designed bathrooms in our apartment. The buildings look great from the outside as well, and the common areas, including the little grassy patch between buildings is professionally maintained.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
The location is excellent. Wembley Park tube station, the Wembley stadium, multiple grocery stores, cafes, Box Park are all within a five minute walking distance. London Designer Outlet is a 10 minute walk away. Anthology is tucked away in a street right off the Olympic way, so there is a great balance between the experiencing the energy of the place and opting for privacy when needed. There is new construction of residential buildings all around, so the area is developing nicely.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There is a lot of construction around, which means there will be some noise in the short term, but it also means the area will develop nicely.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very promptly and efficiently. No issues whatsoever.
A great development in the heart of Wembley Park
The design of the building is brilliant. The flats are brand new and fully equipped with all the mod cons. They also have lovely balconies. The building manager is very professional, friendly and helpful. My experience with the property manager has generally been very positive.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Wembley Parade is in a very convenient location, just a 5-minute walk from Wembley Park Station. There are 2 supermarkets (Sainsburys and Lidl) nearby, only 10 minutes from the development. Boxpark is just around the corner and London Designer Outlet is only 10-15 minutes away by walking. There are also several bars, cafes and restaurants. Unfortunately, there is no parking availability in the development. The location is generally quiet and I’ve never had a negative or unpleasant experience here.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
When I first moved in, there were construction works opposite our building which were quite disruptive. Other than that, I haven’t experienced any other serious problems.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Most problems were dealt with very professionally and efficiently. I’m generally happy with the service I’ve received. Only once I was unhappy with the fact that we had a power cut which took 3 days for the letting agency to resolve so my partner and I had to stay at a hotel. However, they did offer to cover the cost of our stay, so at least that was helpful.
