New Barnet exists largely because of the railway; it developed quickly after the Great Northern Railway bypassed High Barnet in 1850. Today, it sits neatly between the historic hill-top market town of High Barnet and the more suburban East Barnet, centered around the stretch of the A110 (Station Road) that connects the two. Architecturally, it is defined by a deep stock of Victorian and Edwardian villas, originally built for London commuters, which gives the residential streets a sense of permanence and space. It feels a little flatter and more open than its neighbors, benefitting from its proximity to Victoria Park and the vast greenery of Oakhill Woods and Trent Park just to the east. While the high street is practical - dominated by a large Sainsbury’s and a mix of independent cafes - the neighborhood's real anchor is the station, which provides a straightforward link into Moorgate and King's Cross. It is a functional, settled part of North London that manages to retain a distinct, quieter identity from the busier commercial hubs nearby.
