Harrow – Kings Oak House Serviced Apartments

Harrow-on-the-Hill is a sought-after part of the wider Harrow borough, with a bustling town centre offering two shopping centres, plenty of amenities, and excellent transport links a few minutes’ walk from our serviced apartments. Up the hill towards historic Harrow School, the area has an old-world charm, with a high street peppered with local shops and green spaces to enjoy. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could try some indoor climbing at HarroWall Climbing Centre, London’s largest bouldering facility. Or head to Playgolf London where all the family can take part in mini-golf and more experienced players can try the 9-hole course. A more sedate (but just as enjoyable!) day out can be found at Headstone Manor and Museum, less than ten minutes’ drive from our apartments, where you can learn local history and explore the Grade I listed building. And on sunny days, there’s nothing like a pleasant amble up the hill to Peachy Stone scenic point, where you’ll be rewarded with a lovely view, or a short drive to nearby Fryent Country Park to explore over 100 hectares of traditional Middlesex countryside.

The shopping centre food courts have a host of restaurants and eateries where you can fuel up while browsing the stores. On nearby St Ann Street, Ancona Italian Coffee House is a great pit-stop if you’re craving authentic Italian coffee, cannoli and sandwiches. Up on the High Street, The Doll’s House on the Hill is a charming vintage café with chintzy decor and a great assortment of cakes - it also offers a full afternoon tea (although pre-booking is needed). For dinner, Indian Gastro Kitchen at the Kingsfield Arms is a popular spot for Indian dishes freshly prepared with locally-sourced ingredients, served alongside wine, beer and cocktails in a warm and cosy atmosphere. The Junction is a large red-brick neighbourhood pub where you can enjoy burgers and stone baked pizza in the huge heated beer garden.
