North West London Talks
North Harrow is also the home of North West London (NWL) Talks which are held at The North Harrow Assembly Hall. The talks take place weekly on Friday evenings however, the timing of the talks varies throughout the year. In winter the start time is at 20:30 whereas in summer it is at a slightly earlier 20:00. Naturally, due to the wide range of speakers the academic talks cover a broad spectrum of disciplines - though they do tend to be more focused on current and historic political affairs. In the spirit of community, all are welcome and admission is free.
