It’s best to arrive in harrow on the Hill by train - there is parking in Harrow town itself, but very little in Harrow on the Hill. However, the area is served by the Metropolitan and Chiltern lines at Harrow on the Hill tube and Overground station. Use the Transport for London travel planner to find the best route. (Do note that Harrow and Harrow on the Hill are not the same places!)

​

• As you exit the station’s electronic gates turn left and walk down the steps and along a short stretch of road to the junction with Lowlands Road…   ///plot.mining.legend

 

• Cross over and turn left along Lowlands Road keeping the Grove Open Space on your right…

 

Across the road, you will see the site where the new ‘Lowlands Recreation Ground’ has been created. This is part of Harrow Council's plan to improve the area around the town centre and will house outdoor events. (See the illustration above…)

 

A little further on you will see ‘Harrow College’ and ‘Lowlands House’ ‘dating from 1829, when it formed part of the estate of Benjamin Rotch. He was a British barrister, politician. author and MP for Knaresborough from 1832 to 1835. He is buried at Kensal Green Cemetery, London.   ///chemistry.vets.charm

 

The next building, (still part of Harrow College), was originally named the ‘Girls’ County School’.  A well-loved Grammar School, founded in 1914, it was closed in 1975, with the reorganisation of education in the Borough of Harrow, Middlesex.    ///codes.polite.popped

 

• Turn right into Grove Hill by the Harrow Town War Memorial and walk uphill….  

 

Grove Hill was the old road leading down from the Hill to Greenhill and Harrow Weald but was considered too steep for traffic and was replaced by the nearby Peterborough Road in the late 19th century.   ///pulled.edges.driver
