Wembley Stadium - Olympic Way, London, UK - Readable From Above on Waymarking.com

The name "Wembley" is worked into the seating at both east and west ends of the stadium. These can be seen through the open roof from both east and west directions. The letters can be seen from all points within the stadium but there is a charge to enter either for a match or on a stadium tour.

The co-ordinates are for the Bobby Moore statue that is placed at the front of the stadium at the upper level and facing Olympic Way.
