About Harlow

The town of Harlow and the synonymous borough lies within Essex, on the border with Hertfordshire. Within the outer part of the London commuter belt Harlow is an extremely well-connected town, yet it suffers from congestion at peak times.

The M11 motorway currently serves Harlow from junction seven, although an additional junction has been proposed to help cope with the traffic. Other major roads in the area include the A120 trunk road from Standon, Herts to the Essex port of Harwich, which follows the course of the Stane Street Roman road for most of the way, the A414 that links Harlow with Hertford, Chelmsford and the A10, and the A1184 which leads to Bishops Stortford. The M25 orbital motorway is also within striking distance. 

As well as a popular place to live for commuters to London and Stansted Airport, just ten miles away, Harlow is an employment centre within the M11 corridor, which increases traffic in the area. 43% of people living in Harlow drive to work, which is significantly higher than Essex and England averages. The sheer volume of traffic on the roads adds to congestion and makes accidents more common. Between 1999 and 2010 23 people died on the roads in Harlow local authority. These fatalities tend to occur on main roads through the town including Third Avenue, First Avenue, Howard Way and Eastwick Road. All of this increases the demand for car parts in the area as all cars need to be serviced, and any accident damage requires repair.

If you’re a car enthusiast you might enjoy the Harlow Classic Car and Motorbike Show. However, if military vehicles are more your thing, Imperial War Museum Duxford, only 40 minutes away from Harlow, has one of the finest collections of military vehicles in the country.
