Description

The Harrow Public House is an early 18th century building that was originally two houses. It stands three storeys tall, plus a mansard roof, and features four windows. The exterior is constructed of red brick, accented with bands and segmental window arches. A parapet crowns the tiled roof. The ground storey has a coarsely pilastered 19th-century front, while the rear elevation facing Primrose Hill is similar but of slightly better quality. The ground storey has a simple front, and there is a lead rainwater head present.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
