How long on the tube from Charing Cross and is it worth taking my son for a nosy? Is the tube station within walking distance of the new stadium?

Wembley Park tube station is the best station for the stadium. The stadium is about a 15 minute gentle walk away. Catch the Bakerloo line from Charing Cross to Baker Street. At Baker Street, take the Metropolitan Line (all Met Line trains going to Uxbridge will stop at Wembley Park, off peak Met Line trains to Watford will also stop at Wembley Park).

Yes, Wembley Park is the best station for the stadium. I would say it's roughly 20 mins walk away. From Charing X, it's probably 20-30 mins on the tube. It looks particularly nice when the new arch is lit up (infrequently some evenings.) I would suggest you go when the market is open, Saturdays and/or Sundays I think. That way you can spend some time shopping as the market is in the car park, literally in the shadow of the arch. I pass it everyday on my way to work so the novelty has worn off a little. It's still quite impressive to see. Enjoy...

The stadium has actually been built slightly further north (closer to the station) than the old one so if you exit Wembley Park station via the new entrance/exit this takes you on to the old Olympic Way. The stadium is less than five minutes walk, and it is bloody huge!
As previously mentioned, take the northbound Bakerloo Line from Charing Cross to Baker Street and then change to the northbound Metropolitan Line, but make sure you get on an 'all stations' train at Baker Street (as opposed to an Amersham 'fast' for example), or you may well end up whizzing straight through Wembley Park and end up at Harrow-On-The-Hill.

The best station for the new Wembley Stadium is the eponymously named Wembley Stadium, served by Chiltern Railways services from London Marylebone.
Once the stadium (re)opens, major events will see a dedicated shuttle service from Marylebone to the stadium station with a journey time of around 9 minutes.
Wembley Stadium station is located at the end of South Way, around 3 minutes from the stadium, making it even more convenient than Wembley Park.

yeh Wembley Park Tube is the nearesy to the Stadium - They refurbished it especially to serve the new stadium specifically (like the Greenwich one was opened for the dome)
Its about 30 minutes take the bakerloo line from Charing to Baker Street then change for Metropolitan line.
