Pinner South in Harrow
Living in Pinner South
This part of Harrow stands out in the London suburbs for one simple reason: it feels settled. Owner-occupation sits at around 82%, far above what you'd expect from a neighbourhood within half an hour of central London by public transport. The streets are predominantly residential, the age profile is spread evenly across families and older residents, and the pace is noticeably slower than inner boroughs.
Rents here are more affordable than much of London, though not dramatically so. A two-bedroom home runs around £1,693 a month — below the broadly accepted outer-London range for equivalent space in zones closer to the centre. For families who need three bedrooms, expect to pay around £2,032 a month. The trade-off is that you're buying space and stability, not proximity to the West End.
The people living here reflect the owner-occupier skew: around a third of households are couples with children, one of the higher shares you'll find in a London neighbourhood. Under-18s make up nearly a quarter of the population, so schools and parks matter here in a way they wouldn't in a younger, more transient area. The degree-qualification rate is high — over 57% — suggesting most working residents commute out to professional roles rather than working locally.
Practically speaking, the nearest underground station is roughly 900 metres away (about an 11-minute walk), and the public-transport commute into central London runs around 33 minutes. That's genuinely competitive for outer London. Over half of residents work from home, which has made the area even more appealing in recent years.

Frequently asked
- Is Harrow 022 a nice place to live?
- For families and settled professionals, it's one of the more appealing outer London options. The crime rate is well below the UK average, over 80% of residents own their homes, and the commute into central London is around 33 minutes. The trade-off is that rents are still substantial and the Ofsted picture for local schools is mixed.
- What is the rent in Harrow 022?
- A typical one-bedroom runs around £1,375 a month, a two-bedroom around £1,693, and a three-bedroom around £2,032. These are estimates scaled from borough-level data using local sale prices. Rents rose about 3% in the past year.
- Is Harrow 022 safe?
- Yes, relatively. The crime rate here is around 37 incidents per 1,000 residents a year — less than half the UK national average of roughly 80. It also sits in the least deprived 2% of neighbourhoods in England, which tends to correlate with lower crime over time.
- What's the commute from Harrow 022 to central London?
- Around 33 minutes by public transport, which is competitive for outer London. The nearest underground station is about 900 metres away — roughly an 11-minute walk. Worth noting that more than half of residents here work from home, so the daily commute is less central to most residents' lives than the transit access alone suggests.
- Who lives in Harrow 022?
- Mostly owner-occupying families — around a third of households are couples with children, and nearly a quarter of residents are under 18. The area is ethnically diverse and well-qualified, with over 57% of residents holding a degree. It's not a typical renter or young-professional neighbourhood.
- What schools are near Harrow 022?
- There are 68 schools within about 2km of most homes, so supply isn't the issue. Around 52% are rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted, and the nearest Outstanding school is under 1km away. That Ofsted share is below the national average, so it's worth checking individual school catchments carefully via the Harrow council admissions portal.
- Is Harrow 022 good for families?
- It's one of the stronger outer London options for families. Low crime, high owner-occupation, good greenspace access (nearly 90% of residents are within walking distance of green space), a 33-minute commute to central London, and a large under-18 population that means schools and family amenities are well catered for.
