Harrow East covers the eastern side of the London Borough of Harrow and includes suburban communities such as Kenton, Stanmore and parts of Harrow itself. The constituency is predominantly residential, with established neighbourhoods, local shopping centres and strong rail and Underground connections. Development is generally lower-density than in inner London, and the northern edge contains substantial green space and more open land toward the boundary with Hertfordshire. Stanmore forms a distinct suburban centre, while areas closer to Harrow and Kenton are more closely integrated with the wider north-west London built-up area. The seat therefore has a strongly outer-London character shaped by suburban development and green-belt edges.
Election data comes from UK Parliament. Turnout percentage is calculated by Project Open Gov from Parliament's turnout and electorate figures.

Household composition
A broad view of household types in this constituency. Project Open Gov uses the four broad groups supplied by the Commons Library so the presentation remains consistent across the UK.
38,775 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households20.6% · 7,974 households
Families with dependent children34.8% · 13,505 households
Other single-family households35.1% · 13,596 households
Other household types9.5% · 3,700 households
Household-composition figures come from the Commons Library constituency dataset. The source uses census data and Project Open Gov displays its broad household groups rather than attempting to harmonise the detailed categories itself. View household-composition source ↗
Disability and day-to-day activities
The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
118,306 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot5.5% · 6,558 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little6.5% · 7,681 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act88.0% · 104,067 people
Comparison note: the workbook uses different source terminology across the UK: England & Wales uses “Disabled under the Equality Act”, while Scotland and Northern Ireland use “Disabled” / “Non-disabled”. Project Open Gov therefore preserves the source categories and does not present them as one single like-for-like UK legal definition.
Disability figures come from the Commons Library constituency workbook. This profile uses the person-level tables only; the workbook also contains separate household-level disability tables which are not used here. View disability source ↗

'Flying Stress': Mental Health and Well-being within RAF Fighter Command during the Second World War
The Bentley Priory Battle Of Britain Trust
£114,062
The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage
About this award
Our 'Flying Stress' project will explore the heritage of mental health and well-being within Royal Air Force (RAF) Fighter Command during the Second World War, ensuring that it is remembered, valued and better understood. This will be achieved through recruiting 15-18 project volunteers to research mental health and well-being within RAF Fighter Command, utilising archives and museum collections. Project volunteers will co-curate a temporary exhibition from their research, which will engage over 7,000 museum visitors. The exhibition will be enhanced through a supporting programme of well-being workshops, concerts and walks, 'Spitfire Summer' family activities, and new resources for visitors with dementia. The project will make important connections between visitors and the site specific history of Bentley Priory and its collection. It will target engagement of 3 groups - families, people with dementia, and serving and former RAF personnel, making important connections between historic and contemporary mental health and well-being.
