At the lower end of Brent Street is Brent Green. This small piece of ground was saved from developers in 1878 by a group of local people. Further down the road, where Hampshire Court is today, was Salisbury Plain. This was a piece of wasteland in front of an inn called The Load of Hay (demolished 2002). During the 18th century animals being taken to London were penned here overnight.

The LADO deals with allegations against staff within the children's workforce in Barnet. Where one of the following allegations have been made, these must be reported to the LADO within one working day:

In 1826 an act of parliament allowed the construction of a new turnpike road between Marylebone and Finchley which in Finchley was called Regents Park Road. This meant that travellers had to pay to use the road, and the money raised was spent on the road's repair. When the road got as far as Finchley it continued on the same route as the old Ballards Lane (known since 1424). This is why there is a sudden change in the road name at its junction with Hendon Lane. The new turnpike was completed in 1829.

The Dollis Valley Estate lies to the north of the borough on the outskirts of Chipping Barnet near High Barnet, the last station on the Northern Line. The estate is on a south facing slope within an area of traditional suburban housing with excellent views across the adjacent green belt, and designated as both a Countryside Conservation area and Heritage Land.

The regeneration of the West Hendon estate, in the south-west of the borough, aims to create a new mixed neighbourhood of social, private and affordable homes with a range of benefits, including a new school and community centre. Why regeneration is taking place Homes on the West Hendon Estate do not meet the Decent Homes Standard. At least £11.5 million would be required to bring existing homes up to Decent Homes Standards; the cost of which would need to be funded by both the council and existing homeowners.
