North-west London
Meet new people in Harrow
Harrow sits on London's north-west edge: a historic hilltop village, a busy town centre, and green space that stretches out towards the countryside around Stanmore and Pinner. It's a place lots of people grow up in, move back to or settle in, and building a local circle can still take a while.
PingMee makes that quicker. Post a status saying what you're up for (a walk on Stanmore Common, a coffee in Pinner, the view from Harrow on the Hill), see who's around right now, and send them a ping. If they ping back, a private chat opens for the two of you. It's for new friends, relationships and networking, and it's free.
