In which town in Middlesex, England was Elton John born?

Elton John was born in Pinner, a town in Middlesex, England. He was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on 25 March 1947, before adopting the stage name by which he became internationally known.

Pinner is in north-west London and is now part of the London Borough of Harrow. At the time of John's birth, it was described as being in the historic county of Middlesex, which is why the wording appears in biographies and reference works. John spent his childhood in Pinner and was raised in a council house where his maternal grandparents lived.

His local connection was more than a birthplace detail. He attended Pinner Wood Junior School, Reddiford School, and Pinner County Grammar School. As a teenager, he was already developing as a musician and performed locally before joining Bluesology. A common mix-up is Harrow: Pinner is now administered by Harrow, but Harrow is the London borough, not the town named in the question.
