Alexandra Park

Alexandra Park in Harrow is a neighbourhood built around a public green that gives the area its name. The park itself contains open lawns, a children's play area and marked footpaths that are used for short walks and informal sport. Surrounding streets mix terraced housing, semi-detached homes and a few blocks of flats, with front gardens and mature trees lining many pavements. Small retail parades and local cafés sit close to the park edge, serving daily needs for people who live nearby.

Community facilities include a local library and a community centre that hosts classes and occasional markets. Regular bus services run along the main roads, providing links into the wider Harrow borough. One particular layout detail is the curved terrace of houses that faces the park directly, creating a small focal space used for weekend gatherings and informal meetings; that crescent of homes and the green between them are often how residents describe the neighbourhood. The feel of the area is residential and centred on everyday local life.
