Harrow

Famous for a school it can only see uphill·Greater London·London

Harrow is famous for a school most of the town will only ever see from the top deck of a bus. The hill gets the boaters, the chapel and the postcard view. The town at the bottom gets two shopping centres built within a decade of each other and a bus station that does most of the talking. Grove Hill claims Britain's first fatal car crash, and the town has spent the century since making sure nothing on Station Road moves fast enough to repeat it.
