About

Welsh Harp ward is named after the large reservoir at its centre, officially called the Brent Reservoir. This significant body of water forms a key geographical and recreational feature, bordered by areas of marsh, meadow, and woodland. The Welsh Harp Environmental Education Centre is located here, focusing on the local ecology. The ward's western boundary runs along the North Circular Road, a major transport artery, while its northern edge is defined by the River Brent.

The area includes several residential neighbourhoods such as West Hendon and parts of Church End. Housing is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, interwar semis, and modern apartment developments, particularly near the water. The ward contains the expansive Fryent Country Park to the northwest, offering walking routes and open grassland. Local amenities are clustered along major roads like the A5 and around Church Lane, serving the community's daily needs.
