Wembley Arena, Indoor arena in Brent, England.
The building features a reinforced concrete frame with cantilevers spanning 240 feet, enabling an unobstructed view throughout the 12,500-capacity venue.
The Empire Pool, as it was originally named, opened in 1934 to host swimming competitions during the British Empire Games that year.
The arena established a Square of Fame in 2006, with Madonna receiving the first commemorative plaque for her multiple performances.
The venue restricts bags larger than 40x35x19 centimeters and connects to central London through Wembley Park station on the Underground network.
Engineer Sir Owen Williams designed this Grade II listed structure without an architect, creating an innovative space that required no internal support pillars.
