The recorded history of Harrow goes back to 767
AD, then known as Gumeninga Heargae. The magnificent
church of St. Mary's has Norman origins dating from
1094, its renowned spire being added in the mid-fifteenth
century.
"The Hill" as it is known locally sits
high on the fringes of north London, yet is only
minutes by Metropolitan Line Underground to the
centre of the capital and a short drive to the M1
and motorway network for easy access to major cities
and airports. |

The area retains a unique village
atmosphere but with some of the best facilities of our
more exclusive and unspoilt towns.
Home to the world famous Harrow School whose Elizabethan
(16th century) and Victorian (19th century) buildings
dominate the old High Street, there are numerous historical
links with the prominent figures who have either passed
through the town or stayed for a while, often as pupils
of the school - currently claiming seven prime ministers.
