Latest Harlow hotel reviews
Airpunk Says: Harlow promotes itself as sculpture town. It is home to hundreds of them, all of different styles, different materials and from a wide range of artists. The sculptures are not only found in the more modern parts of Harlow, but also in the former villages. Wherever you find...
Airpunk Says: Harlow got its name from a former market town, which is now known as the ward of Old Harlow. It is located in the Northeast of the town and has retained its small town character. This includes a small pedestrian zone, half-timbered buildings and traditional pubs. The former...
Airpunk Says: Latton's main contribution to modern Harlow was (after its vast green areas) the Church of St. Mary at Latton. It is one of very few medieval buildings to be found in Harlow and probably the one closest to the new town centre. Standing on the grounds of a Saxon church, the...
Harlow's new town pedestrian zone
Airpunk Says: From 1947 to 1980, the new town centre was built from scratch and became the UK's first modern pedestrian zone. Some parts later received a major overhaul in 2005 and 2006. Together with the large Harvey's shopping mall, it is a prime example of city planning in the second...
Airpunk Says: The Museum of Harlow is similar to most museums featuring local history in Britain. Its exhibition starts with items found in prehistoric settlements, goes on to the remains of Roman culture and ends with the Victorians, two world-wars and some items from the post-war years....

The Marquis of Granby: One of the few pubs in old Harlow
Airpunk Says: Compared to the nearby “Crown”, this pub looks a little more upmarket and may appear even less lively. Once inside, however, you will find a similar crowd as in the Crown. The audience is pretty mixed, with all ages present. Prices for a pint are usually just below 3,00 GBP....
The Crown: Pub in one of Harlow's oldest buildings
Airpunk Says: This is probably the most traditional pub you will find in Harlow. It has been a pub since 1703, but the building is probably from the 16th century. Together with the street it is in, it creates the village charm of Old Harlow which you will miss in most other parts of the...
Toby's Carvery: Lunch before leaving Harlow
Sininen Says: As I was flying home with Ryanair and wouldn't be in Finland before 10.30 pm we decided to have an early lunch at Toby's Carvery. We were almost the first guests there but the restaurant filled quickly. I like the atmosphere there and the printings on the walls, which...
The Mill: Eating out with friends
Sininen Says: As I have real sweet tooth I didn't want to have anything really filling and chose honey dip melon as starter followed by hamburger and chips, which I could have left out. I have never been a fan of them and don't understand why they are so popular in UK. The dessert, for...
Abeyna Says: Your average generic nightclub in Harlow. Well decorated, has a variety of themed nights.. been a few times and have had a good ol' drunken time. They also have a VIP section upstairs.. all I can remember is red and fluff. Sometimes they have NHS discounts. Depending on...
Airpunk Says: There are two stations in Harlow, which see regular service to London, Cambridge and Stansted Airport. Both are located in the North of the town. Harlow Town is the larger station and serves the western half of the town. That includes the new town with its shopping zone and...
Bring a map (and some patience)
Airpunk Says: There are street signs in Harlow, so that you could check where exactly you are. And there are some signs for cars as well as those of the national cycle network. Beside those, you will find little to no orientation in Harlow. Outside of the large pedestrian zone in the new...

Abeyna Says: Don't get me wrong, Harlow isn't a bad town, it simply lacks in cultural energy, entertainment variety and plain old style! I work in Harlow and spend any of my spare time in London.. if I'm forced to go out in Harlow, its either Liquid (the nightclub) or The Hare (a...

A: 1. No, Harlow is most definitely *not* a suburb of London. It is, however, a commuter town, as is any town with a decent transport service or road link to the...

Harlow: A smack of ugly reality in your face
Harlow is far away from heading the list of Britain's most popular tourist destination. And after my first visit, I am sure that this status will not change in the next couple of years. Harlow has...
