What will be the quickest route ?


I can't imagine doing anything but getting the Piccadilly Line to
Green Park and then the Jubilee to Wembley Park, because it's simplest
and least risky.

Believe it or not, the Journey Planner suggests getting the Piccadilly
to Acton Town, Change for Alperton and then bus 83 from Alperton to
Wembley.

I think that the Journey Planner gives the wrong level of precision
with this sort of thing, because it depends on buses running exactly
on time.


Realistically, the OP will be departing Heathrow at 22.00, and it's not
really the right time to be exploring exotic routes. However the fastest
route above seems to be an hour, versus an hour and a quarter via Green
Park. Looking at a map, going via central London is at least twice the
travelling distance!

Of course, some of this will depend on exactly where "near the arena"
the OP's hotel is. A bus might actually get him at least ten minutes
closer than a station+walk (and it's only a 1:3 guess that Wembley Park
is the closest station).
