Harrow has been ranked one of the "gloomiest" places to live, according to a recent survey.

The Happy at Home survey, conducted by online property portal Rightmove, rated Harrow in the bottom ten of the worst places to live, alongside eight other London boroughs and Oldham in Manchester.

The survey quizzed 25,000 people across the UK on everything from the size of their homes to how friendly their neighbours are.

The results were met with disappointment in Harrow Town Centre.

Simone Haynes, 62, said: "I have lived in Harrow for the past 50 years, so I find this really disappointing. We’ve got a great town centre and I’ve always found everyone so friendly. I don’t really see why it was ranked so low."

Martin Joseph, 28, from Stanmore, admitted that while the "night life could be improved", the town as a whole was a nice place to live.

He said: "What’s not to like? We are well connected by London transport, we have a great town centre and some nice restaurants.

"Maybe the night life could be improved, but it’s not really something that would warrant our borough coming so low.

"It’s also very subjective, because one person who lives in Harrow may have a great job and house and be really happy, but some won’t.”
