With the Victorian streets and shops of Harrow on the Hill and the historic school, the town has plenty of interesting places to visit...
Harrow School is a public school with a long history in British life. Founded in 1572 by a royal charter from Queen Elizabeth I, it has produced a number of the country's prime ministers, including Churchill. Its long and illustrious history as a centre of education for both the British population and people from overseas is an important part of Harrow life. You can visit the school on tours.
St Mary's church is worth spending some time in to enjoy its interior and stained glass windows, and a visit to Harrow Museum is rewarded with exhibits on the local school as well as other important parts of local history. Headstone Manor is linked to the museum and is a 14th century moat house. The timber-framed building can be visited along with its Tithe Barn visitor centre.
