Formed in 1965 from parts of Middlesex and Hertfordshire, Barnet sits at the northern edge of outer London, covering some 87 square kilometres of inter-war suburbs, Green Belt countryside, and village settlements stretching toward the Hertfordshire border. Around 389,000 people lived in Barnet as of 2021, making it the second-largest London borough by population.
The Northern line connects Golders Green, Hendon Central, and High Barnet directly to the West End, while Thameslink services from Mill Hill Broadway reach London Bridge in around twenty-five minutes. Mill Hill and Golders Green are among the borough's most school-competitive postcodes, drawing families who target both primary and secondary places in the area. Hendon and Finchley add further depth to the school-dense northern arc.
