Eastman Village, Harrow, HA1

As an Outer London suburb, Harrow has always been ahead of the times. It benefited from a fast transport link into London, long before any other fringe area and subsequently attracted plenty of commerce. The Kodak Factory was built on this success and is now the site of a smart new development, providing five-star accommodation to professionals and young families.

Over two thousand, attractively designed one, two and three bedroom apartments make up the heart of this brand new North West London community. They are complemented by a private gym, offices, restaurants, cafes, shops and plenty of landscaped green spaces. Residents also benefit from a free car club membership. Developers, Barratt London, are excited by the fact that with four highly-rated schools close by, Eastman Village is set to bring generational change to the wider community, a transformation that will benefit everyone.

Today, the main shopping thoroughfare is a bustling and eclectic environment, consisting of twin shopping complexes that are home to popular high street brands, fine restaurants and a multiplex cinema. Transport links are direct and easy to navigate. The Metropolitan Line runs almost uninterrupted from Harrow-on-the-Hill Underground Station through to the West End, barely pausing before it gets to Baker Street. It then links to St Pancras and the City. The Bakerloo and mainline routes connect Harrow Wealdstone Station to Oxford Circus and Euston, respectively. (The Euston route includes an express service that takes only 12 minutes).
