Hi, i think there is an Ibis hotel and a premier inn next to wembley (5mins) both are likely to be booked up quicky. Or there is a travel lodge about 1-2 miles(30 mins walk) away on the north circular (can be noisey) next to Ace Cafe (bikers haunt) and Stonebridge park station. i think there are some b and b aswell0

Steer clear of all hotels close to Wembley, Stonebridge Park, Harlesden, Willesden are very bad areas, better to get a train in from Watford, short train ride. there is a travelodge in Watford and they have rooms for £39 for the 19th June. Watford also has a good night life.
PS
Greenday are playing Wembley on the 19th June

I'll be at the concert too0 -
If you are not as bothered about the night life in Watford you might be better staying at the Premier Inn at Croxley Watford, as you can get the train direct from Wembley Park beside the venue to Croxley (metropolitan line, make sure you get the train that goes to Watford as the line branches) and it is about 15 min walk from there to the hotel. £39 for the night you want if you click on picture of Henry.
There are Premier Inns at Watford Central and North Watford which are near the overground train stations and these are a similar price and nicer hotels than the TL Watford. Jurys Inn hotel is probably the nicest of the hotels and is also near watford Junction Station (10 mins away) and the town centre (5 Mins away)- £35 for the night you want. From the wembley venue, you would need to walk about 20 mins or get a bus to Wembley central train station and get the overground train from there to Watford High Street or Watford Junction (both on the same line one stop apart). If you are planning to do any of the London tourist things, there is a fast train from watford Junction to Euston that takes about 15 mins. You can also use oyster card on this overground route for cheaper fares.
The premier Inn at Wembley is beisde the venue but is £130 for the night you want. The TL at Wembley is £89 for the night you want and a bit away. I would check out the reviews of the hotels on trip advisor to give you an idea.

I agree with all that SUSANCS has said, I would actually prefer Premier Inn in Croxley (its very close to where I live) let me know if you need any other info about the area.0

the Ibis is not bad at all, but does get booked up quickly.
Last time we went to a gig at Wembley, we got the tube back into Central London and stayed in Kings Cross. There are a large number of b&bs of varying quality there, but if all you want is a bed and somewhere to get clean they're mostly fine. I tend to book through travelstay as they usually come out cheapest.
In terms of driving to Wembley, I personally wouldn't, MINMOUSE. However, if you check out your transport options on https://www.tfl.gov.uk if public transport is looking difficult it may be easier to drive to a station en route and park.0 -
According to the premier inn website the nearest tube to the south mimms hotel is 5 miles away at High Barnet. The tube station has a car park but with only 155 spaces. £3.20 per day weekdays and £1 weekends.

You could look on the www.tfl.gov.uk journey planner to see how you could get to Wembley from there. The quickest route seems to take about an hour and involves taking the tube to kings cross and changing onto the metropolitan line to wembley park. The tubes run until about midnight so if you leave ASAP after the gig you should be able to get back ok. Use the advanced search to check the last time you can get the tube at in case you may have to leave the gig a big earlier. Also I would get an oyster card for the adults from the tube station (£3 refundable deposit and top up as required) and a daily one day travel card for the teenagers for cheaper fares.
If you drive to Wembley it would cost about £20 to park at the event and the traffic is usually very busy after the event.0 -

From South Mimms, try parking at Stanmore tube station and 10 minute tube ride (on Jubilee line )from there, alternatively park at Croxley Green and and take Metropolitan tube journey and about a 30 minute journey.0
