W2S lived with his family in Guernsey until 2014. When he was just 17 years old, he moved on his own to London, to an apartment in the Stratford Halo tower. Harry shared the condo with Sidemen members Callux and Calfreezy. W2S bought a dog named Herb in 2014. The dog lived with Harry at first, but he didn't have enough time to take care of him. Herb lives with Harry's parents in Gurnsey.
