This neighbourhood encompasses the area in between Kenton and Stanmore, forming a semi-distinctive area known as Belmont. The main high street (or in this case more like a high-roundabout) is just to the west of the neighbourhood. The area is well-served by public parks and open spaces, including Stanmore Golf Club, Centenary Park as well as the open spaces near Priesthead Primary School and Nursery (to the south) and Whitchurch Primary School and Nursery (to the north). The area consists of intensively built-up suburban housing, though with considerable open spaces and a low-density feel. Nearby rail connections are Canons Park underground station to the east and Harrow and Wealdstone to the west, just outside of the neighbourhood.

A small branch railway used to extend into Belmont, running from Harrow and Wealdstone to Stanmore Village. Opened in 1890, it was only a small line, and the terminus building resembled a small church. To attempt to increase traffic, a station was added in between, but the line still remained under-utilised. The death knell to the line occurred when the Metropolitan line opened its own line in Stanmore (today this is part of the Jubilee line), and it closed following the Beeching Axe. Today the old railway alignment can be traced via the Belmont Trail footpath, starting from the old Stanmore station – following the trail through low-density suburban housing and not much else, it is relatively easy to see why the railway line was never particularly successful.

James Brydges, the Duke of Chandos, was the owner of Canons Park, today a nearby Metroland suburb. Extremely wealthy, he was upset with the view from his mansion, and created a mound (named Belmont) to place his summerhouse on. Today the Stanmore Golf Course inhabits the area. An MP for Hereford, and later the Paymaster General to the Forces, he was at one point the richest person in Britain, and decorated his mansion lavishly, with a tiger inhabiting the grounds at one point.

Belmont is home to an orthodox Jewish community of six hundred families, founded in the mid-60s. The focal point of the community is Belmont Synagogue, led by the Rabbi Marc Levene. The area is surrounded by Jewish primary and secondary schools, as well as an eruv – which means an area enclosed by a wire boundary, symbolically denoting the private domain of Jewish households, which permits activities within which are typically forbidden during the Sabbath.

This neighbourhood is, particularly in comparison to its neighbouring areas, far away from rail transport and has inconvenient public transportation services. However, this issue is being addressed in the Harrow Core Strategy, which aims to provide better bus routes through the area, and in particular Belmont town centre. At the same time, for non-commuting residents the area has nearby schools, local shops a short walk away, and larger superstores a short drive away.

The Harrow Core Strategy aims to improve the public realm of Belmont, particularly the Belmont Circle centre, which includes improving access to open space, providing better connectivity between Kenton and Northwick Park underground stations as well as improving public spaces. Owing to the largely built-up nature of the area, however, any addition to the housing supply will be marginal, and conned to mix-use near the high streets. Nonetheless, Neon is an example of one such development in the area. This recently completed scheme comprises 76 affordable rent and Shared Ownership units and sits on Burnt Oak Broadway.
