Perhaps slightly off-topic: Going from the stadium to Wembley Park
station after the concert, one had to pass through a gauntlet of
police--one line on horses and two lines on foot. They were obviously
placed to be able to block all traffic if necessary, but why would this
have been necessary?

To stop a sudden crowd surge towards the station. I gather that this
is going to be a standard policing method there. There was also an
additional police presence at Wembley Central because of the Met
problems
