Harrow East is a constituency[n 1] in Greater London created in 1945 and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Bob Blackman, a Conservative.

[2] The constituency is served by three separate commuter railway lines running into central London, and has many parks and sports grounds.

Few arterial roads bisect Harrow East – further east is the start of the M1 motorway, and in the middle of seats further south in north-west London are the A40 Western Avenue and North Circular Road, omitting the boundaries drawn from the arterial road-building projects of the 1940s-to-1970s period.

The seat was created in 1945 and has been varied due to two sets of major ward reconfigurations and by other national boundary reforms.

Residents in the borough include fewer people in the category of no qualifications than the national average, in 2011, at 16.8%.
