27 Jan 2023I walked from Harrow to Northwood. It was very easy to follow, along pavements the whole way. Various green spaces just off the route helped to break up the very suburban feel of most of it. I hadn't realised from the map that the route went under the roundabout near the start in Harrow but was glad to be able to avoid the busy roads there! Overall, not a particularly inspiring route (although there were nice parts) but effective and easy.

26 Mar 2022A very urban walk from Northwood via Pinner to Harrow. It's what your sort of expect from this part of London, I suppose. My favourite part was the quaint town of Pinner, and my least favourite the end underneath the roundabout at Harlow. I guess it gets the job done.

24 Oct 2021I walked from Northwood to Harrow. Small undulating hills. Pavement walking all the way, not very nature orientated but a good slice of suburban architecture. Old Pinner village, Victorian town houses, 30's metro, 50's boxes, 70's low-rise blocks, to modern. Northwood's gated modern mansions to old alms houses. Harrow's pseudo-brutalist town center. Good wide pavements give fine access for wheels, no gates or barriers.
