Welcome to the Harrow to Pinner Improvement Works information page

The London Borough of Harrow, in partnership with Transport for London (TfL), is delivering improvements to make walking and cycling between Harrow Town Centre and Pinner Station safer, greener, and more convenient.

Background

Consultations were carried out on the four sections of the route during 2023/24. Sections 1–3 received strong public support and progressed to the detailed design stage.

A further consultation on revised proposals for Section 4 (Pinner) took place in early Summer 2025. Following a review of all feedback and a series of design amendments to address local concerns, approval to proceed with the scheme was granted by the Portfolio Holder for Finance and Highways.

This page will provide regular updates on the project as works progress.

Project Overview

This project is about more than just cycling — it’s about creating safer, greener, and more welcoming streets for everyone who lives, works, or studies in the area.

The improvements will:

  • Enhance connections to town centres, train stations, schools, parks, and bus stops

  • Deliver safer junctions, upgraded crossings, and new greening and public realm features

  • Support more sustainable, active travel choices

The most significant changes to the road layout will take place along Station Road (North Harrow) and Marsh Road (Pinner), with further improvements planned throughout the route, including West Harrow.

What will happen

Harrow Town Centre:

  • Lighting, signage, and environmental enhancements coordinated with the main town centre improvement programme

West Harrow:

  • Tighter junction geometry and increased pavement space

  • New greening features near West Harrow Station and Vaughan School

  • Improved traffic calming to create safer conditions for pedestrians and cyclists

North Harrow:

  • New parallel zebra crossing on Imperial Drive

  • Continuous cycle track through North Harrow

  • Relocated bus stop near the station

  • Renewed pavements, tree planting, and greening

Pinner:

  • Continuous cycle tracks from the Cecil Park 20mph zone to Station Approach

  • New public realm improvements outside Jubilee Parade

  • New or upgraded parallel zebra crossings on Marsh Road and Station Approach

  • Renewed pavements, rain gardens, and greening

Timeline

Sections 1–3 (Station Road to Pinner Road):
Enabling and preparatory works started in October 2025, with full construction progressing in phases throughout 2025 and 2026.

Section 4 (Marsh Road):
Site mobilisation began in January 2026 near Pinner Synagogue.

    Pinner section update – July 2026

    The Pinner section of the Harrow to Pinner Improvement Scheme is now entering its final phase. New sections of cycle route, upgraded pavements and drainage improvements have already been delivered, while work along the Marsh Road shop parade has been completed and temporary barriers removed to improve traffic flow.

    The remaining works will focus on Station Approach, Cecil Park and School Lane. Cecil Park will be closed from 29 July to 31 August to allow key safety and drainage improvements to be completed, including the installation of a raised table, security bollards and drainage connections. The final phase will also deliver new pedestrian crossings, additional parking spaces on Marsh Road, new planting and landscaping, resurfacing works and the final sections of the cycle route. Temporary traffic lights will remain in place until the scheme is completed.

    We know these works have been disruptive and have taken longer than expected, and we'd like to thank residents, businesses and visitors for their patience. During construction, engineers uncovered unexpected flooding issues and inaccuracies in underground utility records that needed to be resolved before work could continue safely.

    Once complete, the scheme will provide a continuous cycle route between Harrow and Pinner, helping move cyclists from some of the borough's busiest roads onto dedicated cycle facilities and quieter streets. Together with safer crossings, improved pavements, new planting and better public spaces, the improvements will make it easier and safer for everyone to get around.
