Where You Can Eat,Drink, Shop and Park Free In Harrow


At the top of the hill are some fine restaurants, a pub, but narrow and steep streets, and competition for parking places. Down in the town you have the multi-storey St George's car park.

In Harrow on the Hill town centre you have a big choice of places to grab a quick bit or have a quick chat before or after a meeting. We were looking for somewhere to go after a Toastmasters meeting at the Baptist Church in College Road.

Food
Costa - at the base of the steps up to Harrow on the hill station by the bus garage.
Greggs
McDonalds
Nandos
Wenzels Bakery.

Shops
Argos
Debenhams
Dyson
Poundland
Primark

Cheap Shops
Poundland - two branches, one in Station Road near Debenhams, on the opposite side of the road, racing the statue.
Primark

Ethnic

Vegetarian restaurant next to McDonalds. Small ground floor seating area.

McDonalds is bigger than it looks. There's an upstairs.

DRINK & EAT
Pubs
At least three, the one by St George's car park, the Irish pub, a Wetherspoons.

Gyms and Sports
Fitz
Harrow Baptist Church has a sports hall beside the kitchen at the back.
Another gym in the shopping centre.

Debenhams
I have not been there recently but last night somebody told me the Debenhams car park is open plan and open all night.

St George's
Updated car park, now reduces the paper. Instead of a ticket as you enter and another as you leave, the one you receive on entering is scanned when you pay.

But when issued, how does it act as a receipt?

If you are on business and claiming expenses or tax, you might want to photograph the ticket and the charges for your own records.

On the current UK tax system, I believe you cannot claim your journey to and from work but you can claim expenses for trips made for work whilst at work.

Free Parking
In St George's after 6 pm parking is free.

How Late?
The St George's car park is open until 3 pm.
I was told that Debenhams is open all the time.

Why would you need overnight? Lost car keys. Too drunk to drive. Stayed overnight at your friend's because it was too late and dark to travel.

On shift work.

Nearby
Harrow and Wealdstone

Free Parking
