Given the current situation, we’ve decided to close Headstone Manor, Harrow Arts Centre and all our libraries from tomorrow until further notice.
Temporary Closure of Museum and Suspension of Events
In response to government guidelines and given the current situation, the Management Board has made the difficult decision to temporarily close the museum from tomorrow, Thursday 19th March until further notice. During this time all events and regular workshops will also be cancelled. Our online shop remains open at this time with orders being dispatched on a weekly basis. Our priority is the welfare of our volunteers, staff, visitors and other supporters without whom we could not run.
As a small independent charity we do not take this decision lightly. This is a huge period of uncertainty for everyone. As a charity we will be working hard to survive the financial implications of closure.
We will continue to listen to government advice and keep you all abreast of developments at the museum. Due to the uncertainty of the situation we cannot say when the museum will reopen but we hope for your continued support during our closure and when we reopen in the future.
If you have purchased tickets for events we will be in touch with further information. Any museum entry tickets booked for during the closure period will be accepted once we reopen. Please contact us on [email protected] if you have any questions.
We will continue to be active online and on social media, and hope that you will continue to follow us through the usual channels. Please keep an eye on our website for further updates.
We hope you are all staying healthy. Please be sure take care of yourselves and your families.

Northern Cycle Route Scheme Proposals – Barrow Point Avenue / Woodhall Avenue
Harrow Council are currently consulting on a proposed Northern Cycle Route scheme.
The Northern Cycle Route scheme proposals aim to provide a safer, more direct and more attractive cycle connection between Pinner, Hatch End, Headstone and Edgware. The proposals are a mixture of segregated, advisory and quiet sections of route.
In the Pinner area the only change to the current physical roads and footways (pavements) lay out and parking restrictions would be:
Barrow Point Avenue / Woodhall Avenue:
The existing unregistered land connecting Woodhall Avenue, Barrow Point Lane and Barrow Point Avenue is currently used by pedestrians. In the interest of general public, the council proposes to provide a 2.5m wide shared use footway for use by pedestrians and cycles. Double yellow “no parking at any times” parking restrictions would be installed at the dead end of Woodhall Avenue.
The proposals include clearing off unnecessary vegetation and provide bollards to prevent vehicle access across the two roads. The proposal will provide a key connection on the proposed cycle route connecting Pinner and Uxbridge Road.
The Public Consultation continues up to the 14th of February and the link to the Harrow Council consultation website is: https://consult.harrow.gov.uk/consult.ti/northcycle/consultationHome
Beware of Dragons and Wheelbarrows!
On Sunday 26th April 2020, Pinner will be celebrating St.George, slayer of dragons and the Patron Saint of England. This event is organised by Pinner Rotary Club.
If you are interested in taking part in the anual wheelbarrow race or volunteering as a steward. Please get in touch with the Pinner Rotary Club. The good news is that the course is a lot shorter than the London Marathon.
