What you need to know about Whetstone

Whetstone

Whetstone is an area of north London located east of Totteridge and within the London Borough of Barnet. Centred around what was originally one of two extremely small developed settlements in the area (the other having been Colney Hatch), the neighbourhood is now generally regarded as one of the most privileged in the entire country, particularly when combined with Totteridge into a single district. The two most well-known points of interest in Whetstone are the Griffin, a pub outside of which the stone widely believed to be the locality’s namesake can be found, and the Barnet London Borough Council offices, which are located at the very centre of the district. Despite covering a relatively small area, Whetstone is well-served by a number of convenient transport links, which mainly comprise the Totteridge and Whetstone London Underground station, the Oakleigh Park railway station and, further to the south, the Woodside Park tube station. There are also several Transport for London bus routes with stops in and around the district.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Whetstone?

Households and businesses in Whetstone are afforded access to most modern means of waste disposal, either as part of the local authority’s basic public services or through private contractors operating in the area. There are several rubbish dumps within convenient reach, the council tip in Friern Barnet to the south and two licenced disposal facilities that deal mostly with builder’s rubble and construction waste. Rubbish collection services are also widely available in Whetstone, with several waste management companies offering their own alternatives to the borough’s weekly or fortnightly refuse and recycling collections and providing additional services such as skip or skip bag hire, wait & load, and general junk removal for homes and offices.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Whetstone

Barnet’s main reuse and recycling centre (RRC), which is located on Summers Lane, south-west of Friern Barnet’s town centre, is the nearest civic amenity site for addresses in Whetstone. The facility is able to accept most common forms of household refuse and recycling, including gas bottles and tyres, and can be a very convenient means of keeping domestic bins clear for Whetstone residents due to its nearby location. Summers Lane is also able to accept bicycles that are suitable for reuse (those that are not will be recycled) due to its involvement in the Recycle Your Cycle program, which will see them refurbished and eventually resold at charity shops across the country. The Summers Lane RRC is open from 9 AM to 4 PM, Mondays through Sundays, and can accommodate pedestrians and most vehicles, provided an appointment is made ahead of time.
