Underhill is a ward in the London Borough of Barnet, on the northern fringe of London. The name reflects its situation beneath Barnet Hill, and the area is primarily suburban with a mix of Victorian and interwar housing set around small shopping parades and pockets of green space.
It is largely residential and commuter‑oriented, with local shops, community groups and schools serving a socially mixed population; historic ties to the old market town centre of High Barnet give it a distinct local identity, while good transport links make it a practical base for people working elsewhere in the capital.
