Where Harrow's £42m road programme is resurfacing this year, ward by ward, plus station car park prices, the one-hour free parking rule and the ULEZ.

Harrow’s roads are in the middle of the biggest repair programme the borough has run in years: £42 million on roads and footpaths between 2025 and 2028, covering full resurfacing, pavement repairs, patching and a rapid-response pothole squad (Harrow Council). This page keeps the moving parts in one place: where the works are, which roads are on this year’s list, what station and town-centre parking costs, and the rules, from the one-hour free parking deal to the ULEZ, that decide what driving here actually costs.

Checking what is dug up today

The council’s official live map for roadworks is One Network, which shows locations, dates and who is responsible; the council cautions it may miss emergency or short-notice jobs (roadworks in Harrow). Most street works in the borough are not the council’s own: they are utility jobs under the London Permit Scheme, and the council names the usual suspects, UK Power Networks for electricity, Affinity Water for water and Cadent Gas for gas, with Openreach and Virgin Media on the cables. A recent example of the pattern was the temporary closure of the Willowcourt Avenue, St Leonards Avenue and Kenton Gardens junctions with Kenton Road for Affinity Water works, ordered from 23 March 2026 with completion anticipated in late June (traffic management orders).

This year’s resurfacing list

The council publishes the roads it plans to resurface or patch this year, ward by ward (the full list). The ones drivers will notice most:

  • Station Road between St Johns Road and Gayton Road, the town centre’s spine.
  • Pinner Road from Station Road to Westmoreland Road in North Harrow, plus the Rayners Lane Roundabout at Whittington Way and Suffolk Road.
  • Uxbridge Road at the Clamp Hill Roundabout and Kenton Lane in Harrow Weald.
  • In Stanmore, The Broadway and Marsh Lane junction, Stanmore Hill and Gordon Avenue.
  • Honeypot Lane (Orchard Grove to Ruskin Gardens) and Whitchurch Lane on the Canons side.
  • In Pinner, Waxwell Lane and Love Lane; in South Harrow and Roxbourne, Kings Road and Malvern Avenue; Christchurch Avenue outside the leisure centre in Wealdstone.

No works are planned this year in Belmont, Kenton West or Roxeth wards. Beyond resurfacing, the pipeline includes signal improvements at North Harrow’s three main junctions (currently in traffic modelling with TfL), a new zebra crossing on Porlock Avenue by Whitmore High School, and fresh 20mph zones around Northumberland Road, Manor Way, Radnor Road and Sandringham Crescent (current transport projects).

Who runs Harrow’s roads

A quirk worth knowing: Harrow has no TfL red routes. TfL’s road network list contains none of the borough’s A-roads, so the A404 (Pinner Road, George V Avenue, Watford Road), the A409 through Wealdstone and Harrow Weald, the A410 through Stanmore, the A4005 (Greenhill Way, Sudbury Hill), the A4006 Kenton Road and the A312 Northolt Road are all borough roads, maintained by Harrow Council (TfL: what we do on roads). Report a pothole to the council, not TfL, wherever you find it in Harrow.

Parking at the stations

The Tube station car parks in Harrow are run by Saba Parking for TfL: ANPR-controlled, open 24/7, payable by machine or PayByPhone, with Blue Badge spaces free. The weekday prices, from Saba’s live tariff pages:

Canons Park 9.50, 159 spaces. Harrow and Wealdstone 9.50, 61 spaces. Harrow on the Hill 8.50, 90 spaces. Rayners Lane 7.40, 135 spaces. Source: Saba Parking tariff pages, August 2026. Station parking: the weekday price ladder Monday to Friday daily rate and total spaces, Saba Parking (for TfL), August 2026 Stanmore (461) £12.00 Canons Park (159) £9.50 Harrow & W'stone (61) £9.50 Harrow on the Hill (90) £8.50 Rayners Lane (135) £7.40 Weekend rates are lower at every site (Stanmore £11, Rayners Lane and Harrow on the Hill £6.30). Daily tickets expire 04:30. Season tickets: Stanmore £264/month, Harrow on the Hill £2,112/year, Rayners Lane £1,920/year. Blue Badge spaces free.
Stanmore's 461-space car park is the borough's big park-and-ride at the top of the Jubilee line; Rayners Lane is the cheapest way onto the network.

The detail per site, each from its Saba tariff page: Stanmore (London Road, 461 spaces) £12 weekdays, £11 weekends, seasons from £66 a week; Canons Park (159 spaces) £9.50/£7.70; Harrow & Wealdstone Station Side (61 spaces) £9.50/£6.70; Harrow on the Hill Surface (90 spaces) £8.50/£6.30, £2,112 a year; Rayners Lane (135 spaces) £7.40/£6.30, the cheapest annual season at £1,920. Saba also lists car parks at South Harrow, Queensbury and Hatch End. Once parked, the trains take over: 13 minutes to Euston from Harrow & Wealdstone.

Parking in the town centres

The council’s two big Harrow town centre car parks are Queens House Multi-Storey (450 spaces, first hour free then £1.70 an hour, £6.50 all day on weekdays, £3.80 at weekends, open 7am to 8pm Monday to Saturday) and Greenhill Way (209 spaces, £1.70 an hour, charges at all times), with Chapel Lane and Love Lane covering Pinner and Peel House and Palmerston Road covering Wealdstone (council car parks). Tariffs are set through to 31 March 2027.

The rule that saves regulars real money: parking is free for up to one hour, once per day, in on-street bays and most council car parks, but only if you start a PayByPhone session; park without registering and the free hour does not apply, and you risk a ticket. After the free hour, on-street rates run £1.05 to £3.15 an hour depending on location, and Blue Badge holders park free in all council spaces.

Living on a restricted street means a controlled parking zone permit: Harrow’s resident permits are virtual, enforced by ANPR, and priced by your car’s emissions (resident permits). The council’s address lookup shows whether a CPZ covers your street and its hours.

The ULEZ covers all of Harrow

Since the London-wide expansion on 29 August 2023, the entire borough sits inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which runs 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day. Petrol cars generally need to meet Euro 4 and diesels Euro 6; a non-compliant car pays £12.50 a day (TfL ULEZ). The M25, where it clips the borough’s northern edge, is outside the zone. Check any plate on TfL’s vehicle checker before assuming either way.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I see live roadworks in Harrow?

On One Network, the live map Harrow Council points residents to for locations, dates and responsibility. Emergency and short-notice works can be missing, so treat it as a guide rather than a guarantee.

The council’s ward-by-ward list includes Station Road, Pinner Road, the Rayners Lane Roundabout, Stanmore Hill, The Broadway/Marsh Lane junction, Honeypot Lane, Kings Road and Christchurch Avenue, among others; Belmont, Kenton West and Roxeth have no planned works this year. The full list is on harrow.gov.uk.

Who fixes potholes in Harrow?

Harrow Council, on every road in the borough: none of Harrow’s A-roads are TfL red routes. Reports go through the council’s online form, with a pothole squad funded by the £42 million 2025-2028 programme.

How much is parking at Stanmore station?

£12 a day on weekdays, £11 at weekends, in the 461-space Saba-run car park at the top of the Jubilee line, with monthly seasons at £264. Rayners Lane is the borough’s cheapest station parking at £7.40 a day.

Only if your vehicle is non-compliant: the whole borough has been inside the ULEZ since 29 August 2023, at £12.50 a day for cars that miss the emissions standards. Most petrol cars from about 2006 and diesels from about September 2015 are compliant; check your plate on TfL’s site.
