Rayners Lane South

Rayners Lane South sits in the southern part of the Rayners Lane district within the London Borough of Harrow. The area centres on Rayners Lane station, served by the Piccadilly and Metropolitan lines, and the station’s 1930s frontage is a familiar local landmark. Housing is mainly interwar semi‑detached and terraced homes with pockets of later infill and low‑rise flats. Local retail clusters around the station and along Alexandra Avenue, where a narrow triangular parade occupies the junction of three roads and accommodates small shops, takeaways and services used by residents.

Community facilities include several primary schools, places of worship, a community centre and sports pitches, all within easy walking distance of most streets. Multiple bus routes provide links to Harrow town centre and to destinations on the Uxbridge branch of the Underground. Small green spaces and recreation grounds sit between residential streets, offering routes for short errands and daily exercise. The mix of station‑side services and neighbourhood streets gives Rayners Lane South a compact, primarily residential character.
