The Black Horse is great but we're spoilt for choice with lots of pubs and bars in the area. To name a few, The Reks bar, The Arkley Village Inn and Dining and the fully refurbished The Gate are all fantastic too.

The new Bar & Grill restaurant on Church Passage is exciting, and Bel Gelato, the delicious ice cream parlour in Spires shopping centre, opened just in time for the sunny weather.

Offering a glorious mix of urban and country living, Barnet is a suburban town on the edge of north London. Historically a civil parish of Hertfordshire, Barnet is 11 miles (17 km) north-northwest of Charing Cross. The town is bordered by countryside and Potters Bar, Cockfosters, Totteridge, Whetstone, Boreham Wood and Elstrer. It has great public transport links and the A1 runs along the Barnet Bypass to the west of the town. The town’s also a short distance from the M25. Perhaps not as multicultural as other parts of London, Barnet remains popular with older, more affluent people with grown-up families.
