The pool was never to be opened as a swimming pool again. The name changed and became Wembley Arena, staging top events as Horse Trials, Ice Spectaculars, Exhibitions of all types, Sports Tournaments, Pop Concerts and many more. How many people from recent generations realise they are sitting on top of a once majestic swimming pool? It’s still there – underneath! Undo a trap door and you are in the basin.

In 2005 the building was completely refurbished and is now the Wembley Arena.
The design contains a 200ft by 60ft (61m by 18m) swimming pool with a capacity of 650,000 gallons, which could be decked over to provide a tournament area or ice skating rink.
