Barnet Market
With its long and fascinating history (dating back to the 12th century), Barnet's traditional food market is a lively community hub. And rightly so, given the name of the town Chipping Barnet derives from the Anglo Saxon word for market, Chepe or Cheap. Now located by the bandstand at the back of The Spires, it's an ideal starting point for local food shopping with plenty of fresh seasonal produce - plus some decent coffee from the Smart Coffee Company.
