About

High Barnet ward sits in the northernmost part of the London Borough of Barnet, bordering Hertfordshire. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of detached and semi-detached housing from the interwar and post-war periods. Its centre is defined by the historic High Barnet tube station, a terminus on the Northern line, and the surrounding shopping parade along the High Street.

The ward includes Barnet Hill, a significant gradient leading to the site of the Battle of Barnet. A key local feature is the Barnet Elizabethans Rugby Football Club, with its extensive grounds providing a large green space. The area maintains a distinct separation from the newer developments of Chipping Barnet to the south, retaining its own established suburban character.
