The London Borough of Harrow is a London borough of north-west London, England. It borders Hertfordshire to the north and also other London boroughs, such as Hillingdon to the west, Ealing towards the south, Brent to the south-east and Barnet towards the east. The local authority is Harrow London Borough Council.
Harrow Urban District was formed in 1934 as an urban district of Middlesex by the Middlesex Review Order 1934, as a merger of the former region of Harrow on the Hill Urban District, Hendon Rural District and Wealdstone Urban District. The urban district gained the status of municipal borough on 4th May 1954 and the urban district council became Harrow Borough Council. The 50th anniversary of the incorporation as a borough was celebrated in April 2004, which included a stop by by Queen Elizabeth II. In 1965, the municipal borough was abolished and its former area was transferred to Greater London from Middlesex under the London Government Act 1963 to create the London Borough of Harrow. It is uniquely the only London borough to replicate precisely the unchanged boundaries of a single former district. This was likely because its population was large enough. The borough covers an overall area of 19.49 square miles.
Based on population estimates from the middle of 2014, it includes a permanent population of about 246011 inhabitants. Its site on and near the greenbelt and convenience to central London makes Harrow a good place to reside not simply for families but affluent singles too. Increasing house costs in all London locations have helped to find out a sizable surge in home redevelopment of its current Edwardian and 1920s to 1940s housing.
