You can see the arch from Hampstead Heath, where you can also see Ashburton Grove. Ashburton Grove looks very smart!
Drove past Wembley few months back, outside looks okay, am told the inside is pretty grim still and unlikely to be ready for May. Amazes me how these comapnies are allowed to go over budget and time frame. Every other country pops up amazing stadia in months!
In fact, you can see the arch from Richmond Hill, too! And from my mates high rise flat in Battersea (not sure he'd let you in to see it, though!)

If Wembley ever gets finished!!!! Those Aussies Multiplex have made a right mess out of it!!
Arsenals Ashburton Grove is looking great though and so far i have read nothing but good press on it!! Guess thats because McAlpine know how to build properly!

They knew it was a bad job and walked away from it! Im sure i read in the press it had somthing to do with Contract conditions? Bet they are glad they did now when you look at the losses Multiplex have incurred!

Have you seen the photos from the link below? It may not look pretty at the moment, but it will not look **** when it is complete. It's not a great area, admittedly, (i think you meant **** area too) take a little pride though, this will be our national stadium! Most building sites are EYESORES but sure it won't be for long! And the Wembley towers were one of the most famous sporting landmarks in the world, it's hardly rational to delacre them ****!
