South Harrow/Roxeth
A normal, busy, suburban London high street, with standard
shops, pubs, and community facilities, South Harrow's most
interesting aspect is the little market under the railway
arches, across the road from the station. Anyway, now the
market is only half full, with a pleasant flower store, a
jewellery store, and a little cafe. The cute cafe serves traditional
english food, but the colour of the air in the place suggests
they are aiming to smoke out their customers, as well as fatten
them up. maybe some yuppie sprouts and organic smoothies wouldn't
be so bad?
Rayner's Lane
Being at an interchange between the Metropolitan and Piccadilly
Lines, and therefore, very well connected to the rest of
Harrow and London, you might pass through Rayner's Lane
Underground Station many times, without realising what is
going on up top. The actual station building, and the curvy
1930s cinema across the road (now a Zoroastrian centre)
are Grade II listed buildings, and are the focal points
of the uniquely formed high street, featuring restaurants
(including a well reviewed BYO place), pubs, outdoor produce
markets, and all regular high street stuff.
