Barnet is one of London’s largest and most diverse boroughs, stretching from Finchley and Hendon in the south to Edgware and High Barnet in the north. As a major outer‑London authority, Barnet Council supports over 390,000 residents across a mix of suburban neighbourhoods, busy town centres, green open spaces and well‑connected transport corridors.

The council delivers a wide range of essential services including planning, housing, social care, environmental health, waste and recycling, community safety, and public realm management. Barnet is known for its strong schools, vibrant local economy, and extensive parks network, including the Dollis Valley Greenwalk and Trent Park on its doorstep.

With a focus on sustainable growth, high‑quality development and community wellbeing, Barnet Council works closely with residents, businesses and partners to shape a borough that is safe, inclusive and forward‑looking. Ongoing regeneration programmes in areas such as Colindale, Brent Cross and West Hendon reflect the council’s commitment to modern infrastructure, new homes, and improved public spaces.

Barnet continues to invest in services and projects that support its communities, protect its environment, and ensure the borough remains a great place to live, work and build a future.
