The Haworth Tompkins team recently gathered to celebrate the completion of the superstructure at Wembley NE02/NE03 with a topping out ceremony.

- An innovative design that allows each of the 752 balconies to be installed within minutes

- An average of 560 people working on site each day
- Over 1.2 million hours worked in 2023
