Harrow combines a wealth of tradition and history with a vibrant modern community.
Living in Harrow
Mention Harrow in a remote corner of the world and it is likely you'll be acknowledged with Harrow School, home to seven Prime Ministers, including Sir Winston Churchill.
The borough of Harrow comprises the town of Harrow itself, together with communities including Harrow on the Hill, Hatch End, Pinner, Harrow Weald, Rayners Lane, Stanmore and Wealdstone.
Located in London Travelcard Zone 5, Harrow is uniquely positioned within easy reach of the buzz of central London and the tranquillity of leafy Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Enjoying the best of both worlds, Harrow has the amenities of a lively metropolitan town centre along with historic villages, rich heritage and plenty of parks and open spaces.
Harrow's residents are likely to be young professionals and families, who consider the town to be a safe and pleasant area to live, with the bonus of being just 10 miles from central London.
Modern-day Harrow also offers lively cultural diversity. You can choose from the widest range of ethnic restaurants, or enjoy the energetic atmosphere of an Asian Mela.
Transport
Harrow is well served by the Metropolitan, Piccadilly, Bakerloo and Jubilee lines as well as the Edgware branch of the Northern line, which catches the eastern edge of the borough.
From Harrow-on-the-Hill station, there is a train that runs every 30 minutes to Marylebone station in 15 minutes. From Harrow & Wealdstone station, there is a non-stop train twice an hour that will take you to Euston in 12 minutes.
Harrow's bus station is conveniently located next to Harrow on the Hill train station in the town centre. Buses are frequent throughout the borough, with regular services to Heathrow, Edgware, Wembley, Golders Green, Watford and Brent Cross. Night buses run to Harrow and Wealdstone station from Trafalgar Square.
In addition, Harrow is just twenty minutes from the M25, M40, A40, A41 and A1 by car.

History and culture
In the past, land that now comprises the borough of Harrow was a collection of villages surrounded by farmed and open land. The area prospered as London grew, and as transport links improved housing filled much of the space between the villages, with some land reserved for parks.
Today, central Harrow acts as the focus for the borough, being the most economically and socially vibrant locale. As the area with the most modern development, central Harrow balances the traditional village feel found in much of the surrounding community.
As one of London's most racially diverse communities, Morris dancers and Bollywood stars regularly rub shoulders together. From Maypole dancing to Diwali festivals, local events are among some of the quirkiest that you are likely to encounter.
For the very best in international music concerts, Harrow is right on the doorstep of Wembley Stadium.
