Harrow Central Mosque is located opposite Harrow Civic Centre at
34 Station Road, Harrow, Middlesex HA1 2SQ.
With the increased use of the mosque we must try to remind ourselves of our responsibilities to our local community and the environment In Sha Allah.
Each of us has a responsibility to reduce traffic congestion around the mosque and to be considerate to our neighbours. The mosque is committed to encouraging its visitors to avoid driving and using alternative means of transport.
Please think about how you travel to the mosque. This is particularly important when the mosque is very busy for Friday Jumaah prayers, Ramadan and Eid. Below are transport suggestions that we strongly encourage you to consider:
Walking & Cycling
Walking or cycling helps the environment, reduces traffic congestion, saves you money and most importantly improves your health and fitness!
Free cycle training is available for anyone who lives, works or studies in Harrow. Sessions are available for adults, children and families and cover everything from the basics for beginners to cycling on the road for more confident riders. For further information please contact harrowtraining@cycleexperience.com
Cycle stands are available in front of the mosque.
Bus
We are very fortunate that many buses stop very close to the mosque in both directions. It is less than a 1 minute walk from these bus stops to the mosque. The bus routes are 140, 182, 186, 258, 340 and 640.
Taking the bus reduces traffic congestion and the stress of trying to find parking.
The TfL countdown website provides live information on when the next bus is arriving at your chosen bus stop: http://countdown.tfl.gov.uk. There may also be on-board announcements which indicate when you have arrived at the stop for “Harrow Civic Centre and Harrow Mosque” which is the correct stop for Harrow Central Mosque.
Tube & Train
Harrow and Wealdstone Station (Bakerloo line, Overground and London Midland trains) is less than 5 minutes’ walk away from the mosque.
Harrow on the Hill station (Metropolitan line, Chiltern Rail line) is also a 10-15 minute walk from the Mosque. Frequent buses to the Mosque run from the bus station which is located outside Harrow on the Hill station. See the bus section above for which buses to take.

Driving
If you have no option but to drive, please ensure you are considerate to our neighbours and other road users. Please consider car sharing particularly on Fridays, Eid and during Ramadan. Most of the surrounding residential roads have very limited parking with severe restrictions which are enforced by the council. We encourage you not to park on neighbouring residential roads as this can cause inconvenience to our neighbours and if you absolutely must park there, then to obey all traffic laws, respect local residents and park responsibly.
Please ensure that you park legally, within marked bays and do not block the driveways of our neighbours. Failure to do so may result in penalty charge notices being issued and complaints to the Mosque. Blue badge holders must park without causing an obstruction and there are strict eligibility conditions.
There is pay and display car parking at Harrow Civic Centre. Car parks are used by both staff and visitors so spaces are often very limited. It is often easier to park in one of the car parks in Central Harrow or Wealdstone and then walk to the mosque.
Car Parks:
Finally please ensure that you think about the environment when making your choice on how to travel to the mosque. Following the suggestions above will result in a positive impact on ourselves, the local community and the environment.
