Background
The previous buildings on the Alexandra Avenue clinic site were in poor repair and under-utilised, situated in a relatively deprived area within the southwest of Harrow. The site is next to a school, with good transport links, the clinic offered limited services for the surrounding community. Roxbourne has the highest child poverty index score and is the sixth most deprived ward in Harrow.
