Harrow combines a wealth of tradition and history with a vibrant modern community. The area also includes beautiful countryside and architecture.
Having educated seven prime ministers including Sir Winston Churchill, Harrow School retains the grandeur of one of England's most prestigious public schools. The school's Fourth Form Room is Britain's best preserved 17th century school room, and provided the backdrop for magic lessons in Harry Potter & the Philosopher’s Stone.
Harrow-on-the-Hill offers winding Victorian streets and St Mary's Church, one of the last remaining Saxon churches in England, which provides panoramic views across London, and which famously inspired Lord Byron.
Situated on the border of leafy Hertfordshire, it's hard to believe that Harrow is only eight miles from the buzz of central London. Deer, woodpeckers and rabbits inhabit acres of beautiful countryside.
Harrow's heritage trails are a great way to explore the area's rich history. Its hidden villages have provided sanctuary to many of London's celebrities past and present.
Modern-day Harrow also offers lively cultural diversity. Choose from the widest range of ethnic restaurants or enjoy the energetic atmosphere of an Asian Mela.
