The top 5 ‘things to do’ in Harrow according to TripAdvisor

Summer is upon us in Harrow and this week is set to be a scorcher. With temperatures soaring as we head towards the weekend, and as children approach the summer holidays, what better time to start planning things to do as a family.

We’ve already had a fun-filled couple of months in Harrow with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the Harrow School 450 event, and the opening of InFlata Nation in Colindale, but the good news is that there’s a lot more to come over the coming weeks and months as we head through the summer.

We feel that there’s not enough positive news about all the great things going on across Harrow, and there’s actually a lot going on that you might be unaware of. We looked at the popular TripAdvisor website to find out what are the most highly rated ‘Things to Do’ in and around Harrow.

Playgolf London

Rating: 3.5/5

Reviews: 82

Website: https://www.playgolf-london.com/

It may be called ‘Play Golf’ but Playgolf London offers so much more than just a putting experience. The venue also hosts a full gym, baseball cages, a lovely dining experience, functions, childrens parties and group bookings. Located on Watford Road, near Northwick Park Hostpital, the location has become a popular destination for families and individuals alike in Harrow. Like HarroWall, the venue also offers courses for the less experienced golfers to increase their skill set. We highly recommend checking this place out if you get the opportunity.
