Bet not many people know that Barnet is a Spa...This is the 'Physic Well'. A Chalybeate spring, near Chesterfield Road bus terminus. The main effect of drinking the water is to make you pee a lot. In times gone by this was thought a good idea!

Pepys the famous diarist, rode from London in 1664 "to see the Wells" he had a meal at the Red Lion and continued on "half a mile off; and there I drunk three glasses and went and walked, and came back and drunk two more. The woman would have had me drunk three more; but I could not, my belly being full -but this wrought me very well; and so we rode home... and my waters working at least seven or eight times upon the road, which pleased me well".

That is a bit of 1937 'Tudor' that covers the well head. It is sometimes open to the public.

Opened 1673. Greenhouses refurbished 2023.
