Barnet Borough
Location
Situated roughly 12 miles north of the capital's centre, Barnet Borough occupies a stretch of higher ground where London meets the green belt of Hertfordshire. Its geographic coordinates are 51.6507° N, 0.1947° W, and the neighbouring town of Watford lies around 10 miles to the west.
Road access is straightforward via the A1 and M25, while rail and Tube services run from High Barnet station (Northern Line terminus) and New Barnet station, providing fast links into Central London and northward into Hertfordshire.
History
Barnet Borough traces its origins to the medieval era, when a royal charter established a market here in 1199. The area gained lasting historical prominence through the Battle of Barnet in 1471, a pivotal clash during the Wars of the Roses fought on the fields near Hadley Green. As London expanded, High Barnet flourished as a coaching stop along the Great North Road, welcoming travellers heading to and from the north of England.
The modern borough, formed in 1965, weaves together a tapestry of old hamlets and newer residential areas, preserving medieval churches and Victorian high streets alongside contemporary developments.
Traffic & Statistics
Home to around 400,000 residents, Barnet is one of London's most populous outer boroughs and a major commuter gateway. High Barnet and Totteridge & Whetstone stations on the Northern Line carry thousands of daily passengers into the city, while New Barnet's rail services connect to King's Cross in under half an hour.
Frequent taxi journeys from the area head towards Central London, St Albans, and the borough's own green retreats such as Monken Hadley Common and Totteridge Fields.
High Barnet Tube Station
As the northern terminus of the Northern Line's High Barnet branch, High Barnet Tube station provides direct Underground services into the heart of London. Trains run regularly throughout the day, reaching destinations such as Camden Town, King's Cross, and the West End without the need for a change. New Barnet railway station supplements these connections with Thameslink and Great Northern services towards King's Cross, Moorgate, and towns across Hertfordshire.
Together, these two stations make Barnet one of the best-connected outer boroughs for commuters and travellers alike.
Car Parking
Several pay-and-display car parks serve the High Barnet area, including spaces near the Tube station and beside the Spires Shopping Centre on High Street. On-street bays are also available but tend to fill quickly, particularly on Wednesdays and Saturdays when the Barnet Market draws extra visitors. Pre-booking a space is sensible during these peak periods.
Alternatively, skip the hunt for a bay altogether and let our taxi service deliver you straight to the door.
