We were in Wembley a few years back and didn't notice the brook. Mind you, there was a vast river of spectators to the Portsmouth/somebody FA cup semi-final for a good hour!
Why does you spellcheck query "Wembley"?

Apparently the brook has been culverted and generally fenced out of reach for at least forty years. My husband's grandparents lived in Kenton. The brook was inaccessible back when, as a child, he used to visit them.

I spend a lot of time tracking down lost canals and have had many similar encounters. I usually mumble something about canal historian and they tend to see me as mad rather than bad!

Technically, DG, the wealdstone Brook rises further north than Wealdstone. Very early pictures of Wealdstone high street have the brook running the length of the high street (indeed the road opposite the Iceland shop regularly collapses as the "sewer" containing it regularly collapses.)
if you look at this map
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/compot/Harrow/O-S-Map-1891.gif
you will see it actually rises in land just north of what is now Harrow Weald Cemetery. there is a glimpse of the channel just before it dives into a culvert on the Uxbridge Road opposite where Leefe Robinson is buried in the old Harrow Weald cemetery
