Barnet is well-served by excellent transport links, with the Northen line running through the borough offering quick connections to central London.
Barnet is highly accessible for drivers, with excellent road connections to both central London boroughs and surrounding areas. The A1, A41, and North Circular (A406) run through the borough, offering convenient routes into the city and towards the M1, which connects to the M25 for wider motorway access. This makes commuting by car easy and efficient, whether traveling within Barnet or further afield.
