You have landed your dream job in the heart of London, and Barnet is calling your name as the area to make your home. Whether you're a marketing whiz or aspiring tech titan, Barnet provides a vibrant environment for young professionals to live, work, and thrive. But, before you dive into the Barnet experience, let's go over the specifics of moving to this vibrant area of North London.

Finding Your Perfect Barnet Basecamp

Barnet has a fantastic mix of neighbourhoods, each catering to a unique vibe. Here's a quick rundown to help you choose the ideal spot:


The Energetic East: For a trendy atmosphere, look no further than East Barnet. East Barnet is a hub of social activity, with numerous pubs, pop-up shops, and independent cafes. Light Rock Removals recommends stopping by Old Bank Coffee House to get a taste of the local coffee scene.
 
The Connected Core: High Barnet is ideal for those who value convenience. With excellent transport links and a variety of shops and restaurants right on your doorstep, you'll never be far from the action.
 
The Peaceful Periphery: Do you prefer a slower pace? Barnet's leafy suburbs, such as Hampstead Garden Village and Totteridge, provide a tranquil escape while remaining well-connected to the city centre. Light Rock recommends taking a stop at the The Orange Tree on Totteridge Lane for a spot of lunch or dinner.   

Pro Tips for Barnet Newbies

Transportation Triumph: Barnet has excellent transportation links, with High Barnet Tube station on the Northen Line and Overground lines that quickly connect you to Central London. Budget tip: Get an Oyster card for easy travel throughout the city.
 
Unleash Your Inner Explorer: Barnet is not all work and no play. Explore the beautiful greenery of Barnet's parks, see a show at the Chicken Shed Theatre, or try your hand at stand-up at The Ark.
