Mind map for my hometown west harrow
My Home town
My home town is West Harrow in the London borough of Harrow, in Greater London in the county of Middlesex. West Harrow is located on the western side of Harrow roughly covering the area to the west of Bessborough Road, to the south of Pinner Road, and to the north of Whitemore Road near Whitemore High School. Harrow on the Hill is located to the southeast of West Harrow and Harrow town centre is located to North East of West Harrow. To the west of West Harrow is Rayners Lane and to the north of West Harrow is North Harrow. Roxeth and South Harrow are located to the south of West Harrow. There is a park located in West Harrow known as West Harrow. West Harrow also has a train station located near West Harrow Park and it is called West Harrow train station. There is also a vehicle repair shop called West Harrow Garage which is located near West Harrow Train Station. There is also a Church located in West Harrow on Summer Road and it is known as St Peters Church. Before the early 20th century the area was mainly rural. The construction of the Uxbridge extension to the metropolitan line took place in 1904 and primarily the new West Harrow Tube Station caused a rapid growth of housing developments in the area, which was spread out from the location of the new station and gave the area a new identity. The population of the new identity is 10,373.

The slogan for Harrow is Salus populi suprema lex. This is taken from the Latin language and translates to "The well-being of the people is the highest law.
For my primary research, I asked a couple people who live on my road about their experience of living in West Harrow.
Jackie Distant (23 Twyford Road)= "My experience of living in West Harrow has been quite good. Me and my Family (husband, and 3 kids) have lived here since 2004 and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The area is quite good as when my kids were little, whenever it was summer I could take them out to the park for a play about in West Harrow Park. This park is a lovely park. There is plenty of play equipment for the kids, and there is exercise equipment that can be used, there are 2 fields that are divided which is useful for people who have dogs and want to have a run about with them. To top it off there is a little shop in the park too, where you can get little snacks such as drinks, cakes, cookies, and sweets. Another great thing about West Harrow is that there are shops there too. For example, me and my family like to have fast food on Fridays, and up by Shaftesbury Circle there is Mcdonald's or the peri-peri chicken shop and lobster fish bar which sadly closed down in May this year. Whenever I need little bits for the house I can also go to Tesco's or even the convenience shops if I want snacks. If I need medicine I can also go to the Pharmacy by Shaftesbury Circle too. I overall enjoy living in this area and would recommend it to anybody looking for a new area to live in
Sharon Mills (44 Twyford Road)="I have lived in West Harrow on Twyford Road for 30 years and I can confidently say I have loved every minute of it. I first moved here in 1993 and though there have been many changes to the area, it has been for the better. Everybody around this area is really friendly and I am quite close to people around this area, especially my neighbors, to the point we have a whole Twyford Road WhatsApp groupchat which we talk on often.
