William Heath Robinson was an important English Cartoonist & Illustrator who also became a household word, "Heath Robinson" as a result of his fanciful and intricate drawings of impractical creations. He lived in Pinner for a substantial period of time.
West House is an imposing residence situated in the most attractive Pinner Memorial Park, in the Borough of Harrow. A house has existed there for over 500 years. It was once the home of the grandson of Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton.
Sadly it fell into disrepair in the 1990's.  It has now been lovingly restored by The William Heath Robinson Trust www.heathrobinson.org.   There is now a small gallery showing original works  by Heath Robinson, a shrine area containing the Books of Remembrance and photographs of all the damage to residential properties in the London Borough of Harrow in WWII.   The gallery also has a small shop selling amongst other things postcards of the pictures. 
The gallery and shop are open every Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and also generally when events are taking place in West House and the Park.  After your visit call for refreshments at Daisy’s in the Park, the new café in West House created by the Trust.
