Harrow Road
Westminster, London
PocketsMaida Hill (south · north · Shirland Road · south-west)Maida Vale (Elgin Avenue · Sutherland Avenue)
Harrow Road sits in the north-west of Westminster along the road of the same name, a ward squeezed between the Grand Union Canal and the Westway. The character is large twentieth-century estates and tight streets. Heritage is absent from the authoritative list — no listed buildings — and conservation-area coverage is limited to under eight percent. Public-transport access is good via Westbourne Park and Royal Oak on the Hammersmith & City and Circle lines, and thirty-one Outstanding-rated schools sit within reach. The food and retail offer is respectable at 59 and 49 venues. The drawbacks are real: safety scores are well below the London average, air quality is poor given proximity to the Westway, green space within the ward is very limited at 1.3 hectares with Tamplin Mews Gardens at 0.5 the largest, and market affordability is weak.

- Harrow Road scores 33 for safety, based on street-level recorded crime (police.uk) — recording more crime than most London wards.

Whether it suits you depends on what you weight — the same data re-ranked around your own priorities can read very differently.
