Dist:0.5km north<br/>Spring colour in the sunshine is provided by these street trees of which there are several in this vicinity in West Harrow. Alas I do not know what species they are, possibly a crab apple, possibly even a Japanese crab apple?

Dist:0.5km north<br/>Old Ordnance Survey maps available online show this whole area as open fields right up to the Edition of 1920. The Metropolitan Railway was the first significant development across the agricultural land and the Recreation Ground first appears, in a currently available online map, in the Edition of 1935. The horse chestnut trees on the right are bursting into leaf.

Dist:0.6km north<br/>Viewed looking westwards from the footbridge alongside the A404 road bridge, this is the junction of the Uxbridge branch with the Amersham line. A southbound train from Uxbridge heading towards Baker Street and Aldgate can be seen approaching the footbridge up the incline from West Harrow station.

Dist:0.6km north<br/>West Harrow is on the Metropolitan Line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Uxbridge, which was opened in 1904. The station here, in The Gardens, was opened in 1913, although the building is obviously completely new.

Dist:0.8km east<br/>Harrow old fire station, 88-90 High Street, Harrow, is now used as an estate agent's office. The face of the clock on the top is marked 'The Old Fire Station' to give passers by a clue (although it took me about 5 minutes to locate the correct building!)

Dist:0.8km east<br/>This very old church, which stands right on the top of Harrow Hill, was consecrated by St. Anselm in AD 1084.
