The Wembley Lions were a hockey team in London, England. The team were founded in 1934 but showed a continuity with the London Lions team which had played at various venues since 1924. The Wembley team were based at the newly built Empire Pool which they shared with the Wembley Monarchs until 1950. Inspired by the success of Brighton Tigers, who had continued to play without a league, Lions reformed in 1963 to play friendly matches and continued until 1968. One of their most notable players was James Robertson Justice, better known as an actor, who tended goal for a season.
