Harrow is a large London Borough on the northwest edge of the capital. It is most famous for the prestigious Harrow School, arguably one of the most famous children's public schools in the world. Harrow is a large geographical area with a population of around a quarter of a million. Parts of it are very, very rich. Rental rates by Harrow-on-the-Hill (close to Harrow School) are incredibly expensive, but you can still finding cheaper areas in this large London borough. It is still possible to find properties from around £100-£160 a week, as Harrow is quite far out from the centre of the city. Harrow is most convenient for studying at Westminster University's Harrow Campus and isn't too far form the University of Middlesex in nearby Barnet. Expect a long commute to the centre for any of London's main Universities. Harrow is served by multiple stations on the Metropolitan, Piccadilly, Bakerloo and Overground Lines, with: Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan), North Harrow (Metropolitan), West Harrow (Metropolitan) and Kenton (Bakerloo/Overground) being the main stations.

Suburban and ethnically diverse, living in certain parts of Harrow can be purely for the elite, but mostly it is an incredibly culturally fascinating place.

Over de stad
Londen is een stad waar meer dan genoeg te doen is. De hoofdstad van Engeland staat bekend om zijn beroemde, iconische bezienswaardigheden zoals de Big Ben, de kathedraal St. Paul's, en vele anderen. Dan is er het Britse culturele erfgoed, het best weergegeven door zijn indrukwekkende architectuur en de grote musea.
We weten echter dat de studenten veel geven om het nachtleven en de sfeer van een stad. Deze stad slaapt nooit! Pubs, bars, clubs, afterparties, noem het maar op: Londen heeft het allemaal.
