Harrow bus station serves the town of Harrow in the London Borough of Harrow, Greater London, England. The station is owned and maintained by Transport for London.[1]
The bus station is on College Road situated approximately 100 metres away from Harrow-on-the-Hill rail and tube stations. The bus station is also across the road from the St Ann's Shopping Centre.[citation needed]
There are five stands within the bus station. The main operators at the bus station are London Sovereign and Metroline.[citation needed]
Buses go from Harrow as far afield as Watford, Ealing, Edgware, Brent Cross, Golders Green, Wembley, Heathrow Airport, Ruislip, Northolt, Greenford, Charing Cross (Night Bus), Bushey Heath and Northwood.[citation needed]
An official opening ceremony was held on 27 May 1981, attended by the chairman of London Transport and the Mayor of Harrow. It was built at a cost of £865,000. The bus station opened to the public on 30 May.[2]
Vandalism was a major problem for the bus station.[3] In April 1988, London Regional Transport announced that they had commissioned an architect to examine the bus station and recommend changes to counter vandalism.[4] The bus station reopened on 27 June 1993 following a four month refurbishment.[5]
