Cricklewood is a residential area situated in the northwest of the Barnet borough.

Its housing stock is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes, alongside numerous interwar semi-detached properties and several postwar apartment blocks.

A notable local landmark is the former Claremont Road gas holders, large industrial structures that are a remnant of the area's past.
