Wembley was a chapelry of the parish of Harrow-on-the-Hill in the northwest area of what is now Greater London.

It became a civil parish in its own right in 1894, when it was also made an Urban District. In 1937 it became a Municipal Borough. Wembley Municipal Borough was abolished in 1965, becoming part of the London Borough of Brent in Greater London.

For a long time, Wembley has been famously known as the location of Wembley Stadium, the home of the England national football team and the largest stadium by capacity in the UK.
