Harrow
The London Borough of Harrow is a London borough of north-west London, England. It borders Hertfordshire to the north along with other London boroughs, including Hillingdon to the west, Ealing to the south, Brent towards 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 area 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 visit by Queen Elizabeth II. In 1965, the municipal borough was abolished and its former area was moved to Greater London from Middlesex under the London Government Act 1963 to establish the London Borough of Harrow. It is uniquely the only London borough to replicate exactly the unchanged boundaries of a single former district. This was probably because its population was big sufficient. The borough covers a total area of 19.49 square miles.
In accordance with population estimates from the middle of 2014, it has a permanent population of around 246011 individuals. Its site on and close to the greenbelt and ease of access to central London makes Harrow a great place to reside not simply for families but affluent singles also. Increasing house rates in all London areas have helped to view a sizable boost in home redevelopment of its existing Edwardian and 1920s to 1940s housing.
