Belmont is an area of the London Borough of Harrow.

The area is named after the mound, constructed in the early 1700s by "Henry James Brydges" - Earl of Carnarvon and first Duke of Chandos. He had a summer house built atop the mound for the wonderful view. The mound, or mount, is now the Stanmore Golf Course.

Belmont is a suburban residential district and was formerly served by Belmont station, on a railway single-line branch running from Harrow & Wealdstone station to Stanmore station. The line was known locally as The Rattler. The site of the station is now a car park. What may remain of the platform and track lies beneath tons of earth and rubble used to bring the car park up to street level.

Belmont Circle provides the main focus of the area, being a large, circular parade of shops that intersects Kenton Lane. Many of the outlets are now food related, with a few bars and a club completing the lineup. The Spanish Arch (formerley known as The Belmont) on Belmont Circle is the main pub in the area and provides late license entertainment at weekends, including live bands. The Spanish Arch Football Club play in the Harrow Sunday Challenge Intermediate League. Just off the Circle, Belmont Community Hall hosts local activities, events and a regular jumble sale.
