Why Move to Barnet?
Located in the Zone 5 area in North London, Barnet, one of the largest boroughs in London, is home to a very diverse population.
The town is actually called Chipping Barnet or High Barnet, mainly suburban, it forms part of the London Borough of Barnet.
An attractive area with low crime rates and plenty to keep everyone happy in the entertainment department.
Not one of the closest areas to the centre of London, taking an average 35-40 minutes by train, but it does offer an idyllically quiet pocket of the city in which to live.
Having formed part of Greater London since 1965 after the abolition of Barnet Urban District in Hertfordshire, Barnet is also one of the highest areas in London having an elevation of about 427 feet. Hence the old name “High Barnet”.
Barnet benefits from having quick links to other parts of London. Hertfordshire sits to the north and five other London boroughs: Harrow and Brent to the west, Camden and Haringey to the south-east and Enfield to the east, perfect for work or leisure.
Everyone enjoys getting out into the fresh air. One of the areas big attractions is the access to open spaces and in particular Brunswick Park. Dotted around the town are other areas offering tranquil places to spend time.
Since the opening of the railway, development has increased considerably right across the borough, so residents have really good amenities at their fingertips.
As part of a huge regeneration project as much as 4.5 billion will have been spent by 2024 on new homes, offices, schools and new healthcare provision.
Barnet as it is today, is an up-and-coming place to live. Its residents – especially families – tend to stay within local neighbourhoods trading up or down the very busy housing ladder.
For transport, amenities, relaxation and proximity to London, Barnet offers so much; the perfect mix of traditional and modern, a focal point for families, commuters, home workers and businesses alike.
