Children and young people under the age of 19 make up a quarter of the total number of people living in Barnet. That’s almost 100,000 children and young people using local services and attending our schools and colleges.  With this many children living in our borough, we want Barnet to be a family-friendly place to live and go to school.  To help us get it right, we want children, young people and families living here to tell us how well we are doing, what we need to do differently, and help us make the changes they want to see.

Underhill The Old Red Lion at Underhill started sometime in the 1720s. From the Red Lion up to High Barnet the main road ran a little to the south of its present line, and entered High Barnet where Victoria Lane is today.
