MenuFriern Barnet, Middlesex
Friern Barnet is a suburban town in Middlesex. Friern Barnet was mainly rural until the 19th century. The opening of Colney Hatch paupers' lunatic asylum and of railway stations on the Great Northern and Metropolitan Railways, in the mid-19th century, prompted its development as a suburban town. From 1894-1965, for local government purposes, it formed the basis of the Friern Barnet urban district. Friern Barnet Town Hall (1941) is in the Neo-Georgian style with a concave main frontage of eleven bays. The town is within the council area of Barnet.
