Just over 10 miles outside of Charing Cross, Pinner is a suburb in Harrow, known for beautifully preserved historic buildings, including the Pinner Parish Church – which dates back to the 14th century. Pinner has plenty of charm about its towns. The mix of architecture here is largely Tudor and Georgian, and although you aren't that far away from the big smoke, you'll feel like you have travelled further into the countryside. There are some really lovely places to eat, drink and shop along Pinner's high street, and you'll get a real sense of peace and quiet that feels like a luxury the further you go into the city.
