Belmont
Belmont is a quiet, well-connected corner of Harrow that suits families and professionals looking for suburban calm without sacrificing convenience. Schools are a genuine strength throughout the area, with Outstanding options like North London Collegiate School and several Good-rated primaries and secondaries giving parents plenty of choice. Crime runs consistently below the London average across the surrounding neighbourhoods, and air quality is good, helped by the area's edge-of-London position. Local amenities cover the basics well, with GPs, dentists, pharmacies, supermarkets and a good spread of shops and restaurants close at hand, plus solid healthcare provision including nearby hospitals.
Transport is where things vary. Belmont itself has limited public transport, so it works best for drivers or those working from home, over a third of residents already do. Neighbourhoods close by fare better, with the Jubilee line terminus at Stanmore, Harrow & Wealdstone's Bakerloo line and Overground connections, and good road links via the A409 and A410 making car-free commuting realistic elsewhere in the area.
House prices span a wide range depending on exactly where you look. Belmont and Canons sit at the premium end, with detached homes in Canons averaging just over £1 million and Belmont's semis and terraces both north of £600,000. Head towards Wealdstone North and South, and prices drop considerably, with terraces from around £500,000 and flats as low as £240,000, making these areas worth a look for buyers priced out of Belmont or Stanmore. Kenton West and Centenary sit in between, offering family-sized homes at a more moderate cost. Wherever you land within Belmont, you'll find a settled, community feel, with crime trending downward in several neighbourhoods and consistently strong school provision tying the whole area together.
