Wembley Stadium Bowl

In the early 1960s American-style tenpin bowling alleys became popular in the UK.

In 1962, a bowling alley and restaurant was built west of the Empire Pool.

[5] One of these was the London International Matchplay tournament, which ran at Wembley from 1962 to 1972, before moving to the Airport Bowl in 1973.

[6] In 1966, the cup for the Coca-Cola Bottlers International Masters Championship was presented to winner John Wilcox of the USA by England football captain Bobby Moore, whose team had just won the World Cup.

[7] The tenpin bowling craze declined relatively quickly and had largely died out by 1972.
