Early Life and Family
Dromey was born to Irish parents in Brent and raised in Kilburn, London. He has courted controversy by sending his children to selective schools; most notably the Roman Catholic London Oratory School and the Anglican St Olave's Grammar School.
Dromey married Harriet Harman in 1982 in the borough of Brent, after meeting her on the picket line of the Grunwick dispute in 1977; Harman was legal advisor to the Grunwick Strike Committee. They have two sons (born February 1983 and November 1984) and a daughter (born January 1987). Labour colleague Patricia Hewitt is godmother to one of their children. They have a house in Suffolk, in addition to a home in Herne Hill, South London.

—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.”
