A little bit of history

Barnet boasts a history dating back to 1199, when King John granted the area a charter for a weekly market. In 1471 the Battle of Barnet, the penultimate battle in The War of The Roses was fought here. And by 1588, Queen Elizabeth I had issued a second market charter, making Barnet the home of London's main meat market. The neighbouring town of New Barnet developed primarily following the 1850 arrival of the Great Northern Railway. High Barnet station followed in 1872, with the Northern Line arriving in 1940.
