I know it was a long time ago, but all non-west coast Wrestlemania's in the first 10 started at 4pm eastern. In modern day, sports dominate the US TV landscape on Sundays, even when it isn't NFL season. College Basketball, NBA, NASCAR, and Golf all get big ratings on Sunday afternoon. I think an afternoon Mania would do fine.

Wembley would be the obvious one but there are lots of venues they could use. Google "City of London" Fair enough, I took it as the metropolitan area, but nice detail on your verbiage.

In the UK, Sunday has always been the complete and utter "nothing happens" day, stemming from it formerly very strictly following the biblical day of rest. Even now, half of everything still doesn't open, or closes early on, so everyone would certainly take to being able to wake up, and spend their midday watching wrestling.
Weird culture clashes, I guess.
Also, legitimately, the new Wembley has more fixed seating than Cowboys Stadium. We could probably actually smash the All Star Game's seating record.

Where? The City of London is pretty small. The City of London is small, true. But Boris Johnson is the mayor of Greater London, and that's about 700 square miles. Wembley Stadium or the Olympic Stadium in Stratford would be the obvious places. I know West Ham are moving to the Olympic Stadium, but if they could schedule it so they're playing away on Wrestlemania weekend, it would give them a couple of weeks to set up, have the event, and get it back to normal.

Opps! I thought Boris Johnson had been the Lord Mayor. I was wrong.

It's more likely in the Network era when there's little reliance on PPV in all honesty.
Atmosphere at a Wembley stadium Mania would be insane.

I love UK crowds. If not a Mania at least cough up another SummerSlam there. 25 year mark since SS '92 is comming up next year, that'd be a nice time to do it.

Wrestlemania and West Ham sounds like my own private utopia.
