Why is it called High Barnet?
Northern
Where the name comes from
High Barnet is an alternative name for Chipping Barnet that reflects the town's raised position; the Great Northern Railway adopted it for the station in 1872. Barnet comes from Old English bærnet, land cleared by burning, and Chipping denotes a market.
Worth knowing: The station was built on the original site of the Barnet Fair.
