Zone 4 – it’s closer than you think!
- Wembley Park in zone 4 ‘closer’ to Central London than many zone 3 locations
- London Marylebone in just 9 minutes and the West End in 19
- Heathrow and London City airports reachable within 45 minutes
London’s transport infrastructure is a curious thing. Broadly banded into six zones, radiating outward from the central zone 1, it is a quirk of the system that due to the varying speeds of overland train and Tube lines, zone 4 locations such as Wembley Park can often be ‘closer’ to the city centre than many of those in zone 3.
With three train stations, three Underground lines, the over-ground network and two National Rail lines, Wembley Park is certainly extremely well connected. James Saunders, COO of Quintain, the company behind Wembley Park’s substantial revitalisation, comments,
“One of Wembley Park’s many attractions is its connectivity. As well as being a fantastic lifestyle destination in its own right, the West End is just 19 minutes away, providing residents with access to world-class theatres, shops and restaurants. With over-ground trains, the Metropolitan line, Bakerloo line and Jubilee line to choose from, residents are spoiled for choice when it comes to transportation options.
“From a work perspective, Wembley Park residents can reach London Marylebone in 9 minutes, Baker Street in 12 minutes and Bond Street and Kings Cross in 19 minutes. London Bridge is just 25 minutes away and Canary Wharf can be reached in 32. And of course from September there is the added advantage of the Jubilee line running round-the-clock on Fridays and Saturdays to suit London’s 24 hour lifestyle.”
The area also benefits from excellent road connections, with easy access to the M1, M40, M25 and A406 and the planning of Wembley Park includes 3,000 parking spaces on site (residents’ secure underground parking spaces available at additional cost).
As well as swift access to Central London, Wembley Park is also well positioned for a range of other national and international destinations. It is possible to reach both Heathrow and London City airports within 45 minutes by train. Gatwick, Luton and Stansted airports are just a little further away, at 65, 71 and 77 minutes by rail respectively, according to Transport for London. All five airports can also be reached even more swiftly by road.
“Whether you want to head into London daily for work, or jet off around the world for your holidays, it’s easy to do from Wembley Park,” continues James Saunders. “Many of those who have bought apartments here are delighted at just how well connected the area is.”
Nagesh and Jayasri Duvvuri are two of those to benefit from Wembley Park’s excellent location. The couple moved to the area from Reading with their son in order to be closer to Jayasri’s work. Her commute from Reading to Canary Wharf was just too much of a chore and so the family looked at parts of London to relocate to. They dismissed living in Canary Wharf itself, then Harrow, then Sudbury. Then they came across Forum House in Wembley Park. The family fell in love with both the location and the property. The selection of excellent local primary schools sealed the deal.
