Barnet is a place of contrasts, where modern developments and historic buildings give way to wide expanses of countryside. It’s London’s second largest borough and enjoys a scenic location along the Metropolitan Green Belt. While residents can make use of the city’s vibrant attractions, the area still retains a rural appeal thanks to the surrounding countryside and nature reserves.
These wide open spaces are made even more impressive given the short commute to central London – only 35 minutes via the Overground. As such, Barnet has become a desirable location for families and young professionals looking to leave behind the chaos of the city centre in favour of a more relaxed setting.
With that being said, the area is still home to all the contemporary luxuries associated with city living. At The Spires Shopping Centre, major high street retailers sit alongside local businesses and boutiques. Alternatively, Barnet Market takes place every Wednesday and Saturday, with stalls selling everything from locally sourced produce to clothing and antiques.
Other attractions include the nearby golf courses and sports centres, as well as the cultural hub known as the Arts Depot. This award-winning centre hosts an exciting line-up of theatre productions and music events.
As added incentive for newcomers, the local schools are considered some of the best in the country. With so much to offer for both young and old, it’s no surprise that Barnet is fast becoming one of the capital’s most attractive boroughs.
Barnet links to the rest of the capital thanks to several Underground stations as well as an Overground station. The latter is New Barnet, which offers services to Liverpool Street in just 35 minutes. King’s Cross is also accessible in 30 minutes via frequent trains from Hadley Wood station.
Alternatively, High Barnet Underground station sits on the Northern Line, providing convenience for those travelling as far as Tottenham Court Road. For the Piccadilly line, Cockfosters tube station offers a 35-minute commute to Covent Garden.
Finally, Barnet’s close proximity to the A1 provides ease of access for those travelling by car to the M1 and M25 motorways. Both Heathrow and London Luton airports can be reached in under 50 minutes.
Parents have an extensive choice of schools situated in and around Barnet. Many of these have been judged ‘outstanding’ or ‘good’ by Ofsted. The borough is home to over 80 primary schools, as well as 22 secondary schools. Some of the most notable include Haberdashers’ Aske’s Boys’ School, Aldenham School and Queen Elizabeth’s Boys School, which opened in 1573. Due to its 100% record of pupils achieving at least five GCSEs, the school is regarded as one of the best performing in the country.
For higher educational courses, students have the option of attending Barnet Southgate College. Three main campuses host a huge variety of courses, from university accreditations to traineeships and professional-based studies.
Barnet’s rich and fascinating heritage is present on every street corner. Visitors are often surprised by the abundance of historic sights, from its impressive grade II-listed Tower Mill to the famed Barnet Physic Well – a medicinal spa once frequented by Samuel Pepys. Most of these treasures date back to Barnet’s days as a rural town, when the area was best-known for its weekly market.
Despite its sleepy village past, Barnet did play a pivotal role in The War of The Roses. It was here that Edward IV defeated the Earl of Warwick in the Battle of Barnet. Although civil unrest was to follow in the Tudor period, the town still prospered as a trading hub. Queen Elizabeth I issued another market charter and Barnet became home to London’s largest meat market.
After the development of Barnet station in 1850, the population soared and neighbouring New Barnet was born. As infrastructure improved in the early 20th century, the town left behind its rural image and became a vibrant borough of London.
Barnet is a cultural melting pot, home to an exciting mix of attractions, from museums to family-friendly activities and sports complexes. Some of the highlights include:

Anscombe & Ringland is now Chancellors.
In December 2017, London’s local estate agent, Anscombe & Ringland Barnett, excitedly announced that it would soon be known as Chancellors Barnett. The aim of the change was to unite all the brands of the Chancellors Group of Estate Agents under one brand. This enabled us to focus our resources and efforts on a single entity and maximise the support and exposure of all our services for the benefit of customers and clients.
Anscombe & Ringland always had the support and resources of the Chancellors Group, one of the largest independent estate agents in the UK. Being a member of this group formed part of Anscombe & Ringland’s unique marketing strategy, which included a far-reaching network of over 50 branches and 700 other associated agents and a prominent presence both online and on the high street.
This meant that Anscombe & Ringland had access to a considerable database of buyers and tenants which has helped them achieve record results across the region over the years.
If you previously enjoyed the service provided by Anscombe & Ringland Barnett, you can be assured that it’s only the name we have changed, and you will receive the same great service from Chancellors Barnett.
Chancellors’s Barnet office opened in 2010 and has quickly become a leader in the local property market, thanks to the knowledge and professionalism of our agents. Located on Barnet High Street, close to The Spires Shopping Centre, it is ideally positioned for buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants looking to learn more about property values in Barnet.
Come and visit our team of proactive agents, who can answer all of your questions about the local property market. Our Barnet branch is open seven days a week, including late nights from Monday to Friday.
