Whether you're commuting into the City, travelling into central London for work or leisure, or heading out of the capital at the weekend, there are several ways to get around from Barnet.

High Barnet Underground Station and the Northern Line

High Barnet Underground Station is on the Northern Line and provides a direct Tube connection into central London.

Road Connections from High Barnet

The A1 provides an important north-south route through the area, while the A406 North Circular connects with other parts of North and West London. Further north, the M25 provides access to the wider motorway network and destinations across the South East.

These connections can make travelling by car useful for:

• Commuting outside central London

Actual journey times will depend heavily on traffic and the time of day, so route planning is advisable before travelling.

Travelling to London's Airports

Barnet's position in North London also gives residents access to several of the capital's airports.

London Luton Airport is particularly relevant for journeys north of London, while Heathrow, Stansted and London City airports are all accessible by a combination of road and public transport.

Rather than quoting fixed “30-minute” or “45-minute” driving times, I'd recommend checking the current journey time before travelling. Airport journeys can vary considerably depending on traffic, time of day and the route used.

For international travel, this wider choice can be useful, particularly for people who regularly travel for work or have family connections outside the UK.
