There are 5 main airports in London. Gatwick is SWish, London City is in the inner east, Luton is north, Stansted is north east and far. Heathrow is in the west, and about an hour away from Harrow by public transport.
For fun, I plugged them all into Google to check times by transport (public).
- Luton - 1 hour 20 to 1 hour 30.
- Heathrow - about an hour.
- Gatwick - surprisingly, 1h 5 min to 1h 20 - the Gatwick Express helps!
- Stansted - 1h 30 to 1h 48
- London City - 59 min to 1 hour 20, depending on time of day.
From personal experience, avoid Stansted and Luton, and not many fly into LCY. So I'd be looking at Gatwick or Heathrow, mainly.

Geographically of the major London airports Heathrow seems to be closest. If you plan to take a cab or rent a car then Heathrow is probably the best, followed by Stansted and Luton. If you want to travel by car I would avoid Gatwick (other side of London) and London City (as the name suggests in the city centre) airports.
On the other hand if you plan to travel by public transport then distance often bears little relationship to travel time. Busses are slow and trains tend to go to/from central London. Neither of the Harrow rail stations is on the same rail line as any of the airports. Heathrow still seems to be the best, but after that as Mark points out it's a wash in terms of travel time (though probably not travel cost) between City, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton.
