My life is going to school then coming home and cleaning, but I would need a well paid job to make it worth my while because I'd need some childcare. I get really miserable just keeping the house.

Poverty In Your Area
Harrow
- Harrow has relatively low levels of deprivation; it is only the 27th most deprived borough in London (out of the 32 boroughs in the capital). However the borough also has a very high inequality score (the third highest in London ) demonstrating that pockets of concentrated deprivation exist in the borough.
- This high level of inequality in the borough must be addressed if the whole community is to benefit from the overall socioeconomic advantages in the borough 1.
