The Twin Towers were grade II listed buildings and part of Wembley Stadium in London, England. They were constructed in 1923 on the site of Watkin's Tower and came to be recognised as one of the iconic symbols of Wembley. Despite this and their listed status, they were demolished in 2003 to make way for the new Wembley Stadium.
