The 2021 Census put Barnet at 389,300 people, up 9.2 per cent on 2011 against 7.7 per cent for London, and the borough ranks 17th of 309 local authority areas in England by population size. Nobody publishes a separate settlement figure for Hendon, so we are not going to invent one. Hendon Central is a District centre in the London Plan’s town centre network. What Hendon does have is Middlesex University, whose official address is The Burroughs, Hendon, London NW4 4BT, and which says it trains more than 1,700 nurses and midwives and 3,000 police officers every year. Its £23 million virtual hospital sits at Saracens’ StoneX Stadium, whose Companies House registered office is Stonex Stadium, Greenlands Lane, Hendon, NW4 1RL. Hendon Town Hall on The Burroughs is Grade II listed, first listed on 7 April 1983, and Historic England records it as 1900 by T H Watson.

Worth knowing before anyone quotes the Hendon Hub at you. Barnet’s Council meeting of 27 July 2021 approved the Full Business Case, and the council’s decision register still lists Hendon Hub Updated Business Case as For Determination, with a decision due date of 17 June 2025 that was fifteen months in the past when we read it in September 2026. Growth here is real, but it is slower than the announcements suggest, and the businesses that are already easy to find will pick up whatever arrives.
