Pinner is a quiet, garden suburb in North West London with a picturesque "Olde Worlde" High Street. Centuries old, Pinner was one of the ten hamlets of the medieval Harrow Manor, and is by far the most easily distinguishable of those "hamlets" today. The name Pinner is nowadays considered to be of Saxon origin. Among the oldest written records of Pinner is one telling us that the church was here during the 1230s.

It is also one of the very few villages in the country which still holds an annual fair, dating back to 1336. Records of Pinner go all the way back to the Domesday Book. An ancient coaching village, it still maintains its character today, in spite of being geographically absorbed into the metropolitan sprawl of modern suburbia.

Most of the High Street can be described as Elizabethan in style if not in fact. Its survival, relatively intact, is not by chance. Which brings us to Pinner's cultural dimension. The Pinner Association devotes itself, to a range of social activities, including the continued maintenance of the historic character of Pinner. It monitors the activities of the local authority, ensuring that Pinner is protected from mistakes of bureaucracy. It inhibits the erection of inappropriate fascia's to High Street frontages, maintains gardens and annually organises Christmas street lighting and publishes 'The Villager'.

In recent years, many celebrities from radio, television, cinema, sport, and journalism have been seen in the village, often supporting local charitable events. Some popular names include Bob Hollness, Barry Cryer, Clare Rayner and Elton John. Before retiring from show business Ronnie Barker could often be seen in the High Street as has been David Suchet.

A major event in the history of Pinner was the granting of a charter in 1336 by King Henry III to John, Archbishop of Canterbury, for a market to be held every week on Wednesday and for two fairs every year. The tradition of one annual Pinner Fair still survives today, as well as annual celebrations of St George's Day and the Pantomime Evening held in late November.
