Local area guide
Skip hire in Barnet
Barnet is a large borough in north London, stretching from Golders Green and Hendon in the south to the edge of Hertfordshire in the north, with a population of around 390,000 — one of the most populous London boroughs. It takes its name from High Barnet, or Chipping Barnet, an old market town on the Great North Road whose charter dates from 1199 and whose position on the main coaching route north made it a busy staging post for centuries. The borough as it exists today was formed in 1965 from a merger of several Middlesex and Hertfordshire districts.
Barnet's place in English history was fixed on Easter Sunday 1471, when the Battle of Barnet was fought in fog on Hadley Green just north of the town. It was one of the decisive engagements of the Wars of the Roses: Edward IV defeated the Earl of Warwick, the Kingmaker, who was killed in the rout, securing the Yorkist throne. An obelisk on the Hadley Highstone marks the traditional site, and the battlefield is a registered historic site.
The borough is unusually varied. Chipping Barnet retains its market town character around the High Street and St John the Baptist Church, with Hadley Green and Monken Hadley preserving an exceptional group of Georgian houses beside open common land. Further south, Hendon has the RAF Museum on the site of the historic Hendon Aerodrome, birthplace of British aviation displays; Golders Green and Hendon together form the heart of one of the largest Jewish communities in the country; and Finchley, Mill Hill and Whetstone form substantial suburban centres of their own. Brent Cross is one of the country's earliest and largest shopping centres.
Barnet is well connected, with the Northern line running through High Barnet, Totteridge, Finchley and Hendon, Thameslink services at Mill Hill Broadway and New Barnet, and the A1, A406 North Circular and M1 all crossing the borough. Green space is a defining feature: Hampstead Heath Extension, Trent Park, Totteridge Fields and the Dollis Valley Greenwalk give Barnet more parkland than most London boroughs, and much of its northern edge sits within the Green Belt.
Housing in Barnet spans an enormous range, from Georgian and Victorian property around Monken Hadley and Chipping Barnet to the Hampstead Garden Suburb — one of the most celebrated planned developments in the world, laid out from 1907 — alongside vast tracts of interwar semis across Finchley, Hendon, Edgware and Burnt Oak, post-war estates, and major regeneration schemes at Brent Cross Town, Colindale and the redeveloped Grahame Park. Property values range from among the highest in London in Totteridge and Hampstead Garden Suburb to considerably more modest in the borough's north-western corner.
