    We went to the open day to mark the 450th anniversary of Harrow School. It was so lovely to see the public use all the usually closed off areas on Harrow on the Hill. It’s a shame the school doesn’t organise this sort of event more often. I lived in Harrow for over 20 years and have never seen such a buzz. Hence the 4 stars. This should be a yearly or bi-yearly event for the wider community.
