The Northern line in Barnet
Barnet is a Northern line borough. Thirteen of the line’s stations sit inside it — more than any other Underground line manages anywhere — spread across three branches that behave quite differently from one another.
High Barnet branch
Runs north from Camden Town through Finchley to the end of the line at High Barnet, and is the branch most of the borough east of the A1 depends on.
| Station | Zone | Toilets |
|---|---|---|
| East Finchley | 3 | No |
| Finchley Central | 4 | Yes |
| West Finchley | 4 | Yes |
| Woodside Park | 4 | Yes |
| Totteridge & Whetstone | 4 | Yes |
| High Barnet | 5 | Yes |
Mill Hill East branch
A single-track spur off Finchley Central, and one of the shortest branches on the Underground. Trains are usually a shuttle rather than a through service.
| Station | Zone | Toilets |
|---|---|---|
| Mill Hill East | 4 | No |
Edgware branch
Runs north-west through Golders Green and Hendon to Edgware, serving the west of the borough and the Brent Cross regeneration area.
| Station | Zone | Toilets |
|---|---|---|
| Golders Green | 3 | No |
| Brent Cross | 3 | No |
| Hendon Central | 3/4 | No |
| Colindale | 4 | No |
| Burnt Oak | 4 | No |
| Edgware | 5 | No |
National Rail in Barnet
Five stations in the borough are on National Rail rather than the Underground. The live board above comes from Transport for London and does not cover them, so check National Rail for whether these trains are running.

Common questions
Which Tube line serves Barnet?
The Northern line. Thirteen of its stations are inside the London Borough of Barnet, across three branches: the High Barnet branch through Finchley, the Edgware branch through Golders Green and Hendon, and the short Mill Hill East spur off Finchley Central. No other Underground line runs through the borough.
Which zone is High Barnet in?
High Barnet is in Zone 5, at the northern end of the Northern line. Edgware, at the end of the other branch, is also Zone 5. The borough spans Zones 3 to 5, with Golders Green, Brent Cross and East Finchley in Zone 3.
Does the Elizabeth line stop in Barnet?
No. The Elizabeth line does not run through the London Borough of Barnet. The nearest options are the Northern line, or Thameslink from Mill Hill Broadway and Hendon.
Why is the Mill Hill East branch so short?
It is a single-track spur running one stop from Finchley Central, and services on it are usually run as a shuttle rather than through to central London. It is among the shortest branches on the Underground.
Does this page cover Thameslink and Great Northern trains?
Not for live status. The board on this page comes from Transport for London, which does not run the National Rail services through Mill Hill Broadway, Hendon, New Barnet, Oakleigh Park and Hadley Wood. Those stations are listed here, but check National Rail for whether their trains are running.
Service status comes from Transport for London’s Unified API and refreshes every two minutes. Station zones and facilities are TfL’s own published data. This page is not affiliated with Transport for London.
