History

Prior to the early 20th century, the area was overwhelmingly rural. The construction of the Uxbridge extension to the Metropolitan line in 1904, and specifically the new West Harrow tube station, triggered a steady growth of housing developments in the area, spreading out from the location of the new station and giving the area a new identity.
