Harrow-on-the-Hill is a London Underground station served by trains on the Metropolitan Line and National Rail, in Travelcard Zone 5. It is located between College Road and Lowlands Road in the Greenhill area of Harrow, about half a mile north of the locality from which it takes its name. This is where the branch from Uxbridge joins the main line and where fast and slow lines are divided.
The station is the junction of four LU tracks from Baker Street (paired by direction), two Network Rail tracks from Marylebone, four LU tracks (paired by speed) to Amersham and the double-track LU line to Uxbridge which leaves via a burrowing junction west of the station. Services to Watford leave the "Main Line" to Amersham at Watford south junction (not to be confused with Watford Junction) near Rickmansworth.

The adjacent Underground stations are ( all stations towards London) Northwick Park, (fast services towards Amersham/Chesham) Moor Park (stopping services towards Watford/Amersham/Chesham) North Harrow and (towards Uxbridge) West Harrow.
