Hello there,
Im Bridget, I have a toddler and a baby and grew up in Crouch End and now live in Finsbury Park.
We are looking at moving to Barnet because it looks nice (High Barnet and Hadley Wood), the schools are supposed to be good, we could get a bigger place and its still London.
However Ive only driven into it a couple of times and wanted to ask some locals a few questions so if you have some time Id appreciate your feedback.
Is there much of a community and much to do with little ones, we have lots of drop ins and things to do in Finsbury Park and parks. Are there many parks?
Is it safe. Is there much mugging, house break ins and do you feel safe walking around day and night. Are there any gangs and gang violence?
Which are the good nurseries and school, are they all good.
Which are the nicest roads and parts of Barnet, Hadley Wood looked great (expensive) and High Barnet (near Dudleys) looked nice.
Would you recommend it overall?
Thanks very much indeed! You never know I might meet you one day as we are keen to move soon.
Bridget xxxx
