Train and London Underground 

The nearest London Underground and mainline train station is Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan and Chiltern Lines). If you wish to walk from the station (ten minutes uphill), take the left exit after passing through the ticket barriers. At the end of the service road, turn left again, then take the first right up Grove Hill to reach the School. If you wish to take a taxi, take the right exit after passing through the ticket barriers, where you will find a taxi rank. Please stress that you need Harrow School, on top of the Hill, and not Harrow High School.

South Harrow (Piccadilly Line) is 20 minutes’ walk from the School: turn right after passing through the ticket barriers, continue across the Waitrose roundabout, and then up Middle Road, Crown Street and West Street until you meet the High Street. Taxis are rarely waiting at South Harrow, so it is best to pre-order one if required.

Buses

The 258 from Watford Junction to South Harrow and the H17 from Harrow Bus Station to Wembley Central both stop at Harrow School about every 15-20 minutes.

Reception

The main School reception is in the Bursary (map reference: B3, number 27), a building just off the High Street, accessed via Obadiah Slope. If you are coming from the Garlands Lane car park or Harrow-on-the-Hill station and pass West Street on your right, you have gone too far. If you are coming from South Harrow station and pass Church Hill on your left (map reference: B3), you have gone too far.

Sports Fixtures

Boards showing where teams are playing are located at the bottom of Garlands Lane, in front of the tennis courts, between the tennis courts and the Sunley Field, at the entrance to the Sixth Form Ground and on the Philathletic Ground.
