Rayners Lane
Harrow, London
Rayners Lane sits on the western edge of Harrow, a quiet interwar Metro-land suburb along the Piccadilly and Metropolitan line branch. The whole ward sits inside a conservation area. The two listed buildings are tightly focused: the Grade II* Ace Cinema, a 1936 streamlined Art Deco former cinema by Frank Bromige with its distinctive stylised elephant-head façade, now the Zoroastrian Centre for Europe; and the Grade II Rayners Lane Underground Station, designed by Reginald Uren and Charles Holden for the 1938 rebuild. Safety sits near the top fifth of London wards, the air is clean, and Newton Park West and the small local greens give around twelve hectares. The trade-offs are real: only two Ofsted outstanding rated schools within reach, a thin food and retail offer with around forty eating places, and a market score held down by the slower, quieter character of the north-western Piccadilly line.
