Area Guides for Totteridge and Whetstone (1)

Welcome to Totteridge and Whetstone

Did you know? In medieval times the Hospitallers had a settlement nearby in Friern Barnet probably where Friary Park is now and alongside the old road to London. In 1340 the Bishop of London opened a gate into his park (the Highgate) which enabled a straight road across Finchley Common along the ridge there. The Hospitallers' settlement moved further west and became known as West Town, also known variously as "le Weston" (1398), "Wheston" (1417), and "Whetstonestret" (1439)

An affluent residential and commercial area 9 miles due north of Central London with an abundance of excellent transport links, schools, shopping and leisure activities.

Characterised by a wide, tree-lined High Road with a diverse mix of independent shops and retail chains, Whetstone sits on the main road between Barnet and Finchley, and offers a mix of property styles and sizes.
