Harrow Museum
What Visitors Say
Nice little museum showing the history of Harrow. You can find out a lot about local history with good displays. The maps showing how Harrow looked in the past is interesting especially if you try to find where your house is. Inside you will feel colder then outside if you're visiting during cold days. The staff are nice. Next to the manor is a nice playground for kids, a park with fields to play different ball games, have a picnic, run around and play with your dogs. The cafe opposite of the car park offers snacks, coffee, tea just good the warm up after spending time in the cold. The car park is free which is very good considering many parking is paid only. There's space between cars and disabled parking space.
A lovely museum with so much history and information about Harrow. I really enjoyed it and thought it was well worth the visit plus it was free to enter and theres a toilet, garden and a cafe. You can also buy a sovereign there as well.
I went to the Headstone Village Show at the Manor on the bank holiday and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was brilliant, full of great entertainment, a lively community spirit, and plenty to see and do. It was wonderful to see how the event brought Harrow’s culture together in such a fun and welcoming way. A perfect way to spend the day on a beautiful sunny day 👌💕💫
Beautiful manor house, grounds and museum. Highly recommend coming here. They have a coffee shop and free parking too.
The best park in London, beautiful café with great staff. I love it so much it is hard to explain.❤️

Fun Facts
Headstone Manor keeps a complete, water-filled medieval moat—an exceptionally rare survival in Greater London.
The complex layers four historic buildings—the Manor House, Great Barn, Small Barn and Granary—around one green.
After major restoration, the museum reopened with free admission, making it one of London’s best-value medieval visits.
