Where's HA3? - sounds as if it should be in Yorkshire. Hackney?


HA3 is a rather odd area of Harrow:


It's the Chile of the postcode map, 8km long and about 1km wide.


Yup! Had to laugh at 'market researcher' interviewing customers at
Safeway (now Morrison's) in Queensbury, asking people about their
residential postcodes. The store is *just* in NW9, but within a furlong
of HA8, HA7 & HA3. All these postcodes extend for miles radially...

HA3 has no identity as an area, unlike HA7 (Stanmore) and HA8 (Edgware).

Edgware is in three London Boroughs...
