Staying in East Barnet
Hi, again. We'll be staying in the East Barnet (a few blocks from Oakwood Station) area before and after Christmas. Just looking for suggestions on area restaurants/pubs/things to do in the evening after a long day of sightseeing.
Thanks.

Except for some regional parks I really don't know of much in the area. Is there some reason you have chosen to stay there? If it is because you have friends living there, Kate is right - they would be your best source of info.
East Barnet is a very long ways from most sightseeing. Oakwood is just about the end of the line tube-wise (Cockfosters is the very end of the Picadilly line and is the stop after Oakwood). You will be in zone 6 so your transport will be a lot more expensive than if you stayed closer in.

Unless it is less than about £15 - £20 per night inc breakfast, the inconvenience and extra transport may actually not be worth the savings.
If you are getting a REALLY low rate - great. Otherwise you will waste a lot of time getting around.

Here's what the local council have to say about it:
