Wembley Coffee Morning: Arthur Elvin – Mister Wembley

Who would have thought that a young, unemployed ex-serviceman, who first came to Wembley to work in a cigarette kiosk at the British Empire Exhibition in 1924 for £4-10s a week, would end up within a few years owning the Stadium, and spend the rest of his life making Wembley a world-famous venue for sports and entertainment?

Join Philip Grant, from Wembley History Society, for this richly illustrated talk about the life and work of Arthur Elvin, the man who was “Mister Wembley”, and whose name and story deserve to be better known.
