West Essex, Essex

Harlow

A post-war new town with a busy London commuter station, a four-day market and a town centre being rebuilt.

Why Harlow

The case for Harlow

Harlow was designated a new town in 1947, built to Sir Frederick Gibberd's masterplan, and around 93,600 people live there today. Harlow district grew by almost 14% between 2011 and 2021, and the town is on the move.

The town centre is being repaved and relandscaped through Harlow's Towns Fund programme, with a new events space on Broad Walk. Harlow Town station recorded more than 1.8 million entries and exits in 2024 to 25, with trains to Liverpool Street in as little as 30 minutes. And the Harlow and Gilston Garden Town will bring thousands of new homes to the area.
