Harrow's Heroes and Heroines Displayed In The Civic Centre

Harrow's civic centre has tributes to heroes and heroines of Harrow and the world.

At the entrance turn right to enquire from the reception desk; turn left to see the Kodak history display



Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visited Harrow.


Tiles include well known people such as: the poet Byron; runner Roger Bannister. You'll also see organisations including the masons; and landmarks great and small.

Winston Churchill went to Harrow school.

Byron was at Harrow school. He is buried here. So is his daughter - in St Mary's church - that's the famous spire you see on the top of the hill when you are driving towards Harrow or passing Harrow in the metropolitan line train.





(I'm updating this today and loading up more pictures but so I don't lose my work I'm adding them to the site and not waiting until it's finished. Come back and read more later.)



Current Mayor in 2014
Harrow is a very diverse borough. Schools and pupils and teachers do well.
