Harrow: a well-connected hub with historic charm

At the heart of the borough, Harrow blends historic architecture, modern convenience, and excellent connectivity. Harrow-on-the-Hill station (Metropolitan and Chiltern lines) provides direct services to central London and Marylebone, while nearby Harrow & Wealdstone offers Overground and fast London Northwestern trains, making this one of the best-connected spots in North West London.

The area is home to a mix of period cottages, Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and modern apartment blocks, with larger homes tucked away on the slopes of the Hill. Harrow town centre offers two shopping centres (St Anns and St George’s), along with a cinema, restaurants, and a variety of independent and high street stores.

Education is a major draw, with access to top-performing schools including the world-renowned Harrow School, as well as highly rated state and grammar options. Harrow Recreation Ground and the open spaces surrounding Harrow Hill provide a welcome breathing space, while the Hill itself adds a sense of history and prestige.
