Barnet is a suburban Outer London borough in north London, bordering Hertfordshire. Its main centres are Hendon, Finchley, Golders Green, Friern Barnet, Chipping Barnet, Whetstone and Edgware. Totteridge and Arkley are villages, and the middle of the borough's northern half is mostly countryside.
In Hampstead Garden Suburb, the Church of St Jude and the Free Church face each other across Central Square, both designed by Edwin Lutyens and both Grade I listed. The Royal Air Force Museum stands on part of the old Hendon Aerodrome at Colindale. Middlesex University's main campus is at Hendon, and University College London runs a teaching observatory at Mill Hill. The Great North Road, once a coaching route from London to York and Edinburgh, runs through the borough.
Much of Barnet is Metropolitan Green Belt. Part of Hampstead Heath, the Hampstead Heath Extension and Golders Hill Park lie within the borough. Barnet and Brent jointly look after the Welsh Harp reservoir, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and the borough has eight local nature reserves.
The Northern line's Edgware and High Barnet branches run above ground through much of the borough, with a spur to Mill Hill East. Thameslink trains on the Midland Main Line call at Mill Hill Broadway, Hendon, Brent Cross West and Cricklewood, and Great Northern trains on the East Coast Main Line call at New Barnet and Oakleigh Park. Three junctions of the M1 are in the borough, the North Circular Road crosses it from east to west, and the A5 forms much of its western boundary.
