Harrow Court is an 18 storey tower block of flats (ground floor - 17th floor) located in the Bedwell area of Stevenage just outside Stevenage Town Centre next to Stevenage Town Gardens along Silam Road. Built alongside its twin sister 18 storey tower block, Brent Court, in 1965. Both structures became the tallest buildings in Stevenage from 1965, however they are both soon to be overtaken by new build apartment blocks in Stevenage that will be up to 20 storeys in height, overtaking both Harrow Court and Brent Court by 3 storeys.
