Pinner

Pinner is a district in northwest London that belongs to the Borough of Harrow and lies along the river of the same name. The streets show a mix of Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco houses, giving the place a varied appearance.

The first written mention dates from 1231, when the place was called Pinnora and took its name from the River Pinn. In the 14th century, St John the Baptist church was built, and it remains standing today alongside several Tudor-era buildings.

The annual fair, established in 1336 by royal charter, transforms the streets each summer into a celebration with stalls, music, and local traditions. Families from across the area come together to experience this centuries-old event, which still defines the community spirit of the neighborhood today.

The Underground station sits on the Metropolitan line and connects the district directly to central London. During peak hours, trains run every few minutes, making the connection straightforward.

The district counts 289 listed buildings in total, including many houses from different eras that are still lived in and used daily. Even in the smaller side streets, you regularly come across buildings that have been part of the neighborhood for centuries.
