Harrow Crown Court is a dedicated Crown Court centre serving North West London, located at Hailsham Drive, off Headstone Drive, in the London Borough of Harrow. Commissioned in 1991 and designed by Kyle Stewart, the purpose-built courthouse contains eight courtrooms and was opened to relieve pressure on the Middlesex Guildhall, which had until then been the principal criminal venue for north London. Today the court hears indictable and either-way criminal cases referred up from magistrates' courts across the boroughs of Harrow, Brent, Barnet, Hillingdon and surrounding areas of North West London, with daily Crown Court listings covering trials, sentencing, plea and trial preparation hearings (PTPH), appeals from the magistrates' court, and confiscation proceedings.
Our Harrow Crown Court listings page publishes the daily court diary for every courtroom in the building, sourced directly from the Xhibit court information system. Court users, journalists, victims, witnesses, family members and legal professionals can check today's hearings, tomorrow's schedule and case references in one place — including the defendant's name (partially redacted where appropriate), case number, hearing type, listed courtroom and start time. Crown Court cases at Harrow are heard before a Circuit Judge or Recorder, and where the matter is a trial, a jury of twelve members of the public.
