Welcome to Friern Barnet

Friern Barnet is a suburban area located in the London Borough of Barnet. It is situated in the north of Greater London and is bordered by the areas of New Southgate, North Finchley, and Muswell Hill. The area is known for its green spaces, including Friary Park, which is a popular spot for picnics and walks. The park features a playground, a pond, and a café, making it a great place for families to spend time together.

The area has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Roman era. In the 12th century, Friern Barnet was known as Little Barnet and was a small hamlet. It grew in size during the 19th century, with the arrival of the railway and the development of new housing. Today, Friern Barnet is a diverse and vibrant community, with a mix of residential and commercial properties. It is home to a range of shops, restaurants, and pubs, as well as several schools and community centers.

Despite its proximity to central London, Friern Barnet has managed to maintain a sense of community and a village-like atmosphere. It is a popular choice for families and young professionals who are looking for a quieter, more affordable alternative to the city center. With its green spaces, historic buildings, and friendly community, Friern Barnet is a great place to live, work, and visit.
