Woodhouse is a compact, largely residential ward in the northern reaches of the London Borough of Barnet, London, England. It reflects the suburban character of the borough with a mix of Victorian terraces, interwar and post-war housing, tree-lined streets and small local parks, and is served by local high streets, schools and community centres that give it a village-like feel despite being within easy reach of central London.
Socially and economically the ward is diverse, home to long-standing residents and newer commuters, and tends to have active residents’ groups and small-scale local businesses rather than heavy industry. Transport links and nearby open spaces make it popular with families and professionals, while a modest local history and conservation-minded pockets preserve some of the area's quieter, suburban charm.
