About
White City Stadium in London, England, was built for the 1908 Summer Olympics and demolished in 1985. It hosted the finish of the first modern marathon and swimming, speedway, boxing, show jumping, athletics, stock car racing, concerts and a match at the 1966 FIFA World Cup.
From 1927, it was a venue for greyhound racing, hosting the English Greyhound Derby until its closure in 1984. The site is now occupied by White City Place.
White City was also used for stock car racing in the early seventies when Spedeworth promoted racing on Friday nights usually alternate Fridays to their Walthamstow promotions.
