About  Barnet London   

The London Borough of Barnet is one of the 32 London Boroughs created in 1965. It contains the former urban districts of Chipping Barnet and East Barnet, both previously in Hertfordshire and the urban district of Friern Barnet and boroughs of Finchley and Hendon, previously in Middlesex.So large and diverse a borough has a fascinating range of history. Although it only became a suburb during the 20th century, it has always been influenced by its proximity to London. It is crossed by three main roads from London to the north. On the western boundary, the Edgware Road, Watling Street, or A5, is part of a major Roman route. The main medieval route was put through further east and runs through Finchley, Whetstone, Chipping Barnet and Hadley. It was the Great North Road, or A1, but after a bypass was built in the 1920s it became the A1000. The M1, the next generation of main roads, also opened through the borough in 1966. Most of the borough is on heavy clay soil, which means that it was covered by thick forest and was not particularly attractive to early settlers. Archaeological finds of various periods have nethertheless been made in many areas. Most of the Roman finds have been along Watling Street and elsewhere in Hendon.
