Barnet ‘Did you know?’

  • Barnet borders Hertfordshire to the north and five other London boroughs: Harrow and Brent to the west, Camden and Haringey to the southeast and, to the east, Enfield.
  • Parts of the counties of Middlesex and Hertfordshire were brought together to form the borough in 1965.
  • The Battle of Barnet was fought in Monken Hadley in 1471, just within the present borough's boundary. Yorkist troops led by King Edward IV killed the Earl of Warwick ‘Kingmaker’ Richard Neville here, as well as his brother, John Neville, 1st Marquess of Montagu.
  • 1st-century Roman pottery manufacturing has been discovered at Brockley Hill, while Roman coins from the 3rd and 4th centuries were found at Burnt Oak.
  • A large proportion of the borough is within the Metropolitan Green Belt, and it has a great number of parks and open spaces.
  • The borough boasts sixty-seven Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation, eight Local Nature Reserves, and is responsible alongside the London Borough of Brent for the Welsh Harp Reservoir, a site of Special Scientific Interest.
