Can you believe it’s been almost a year since our award-winning Brent Cross West station first opened its doors? Join us as we celebrate this exciting milestone on Tuesday 10 December.

 

Whether you’re a daily commuter or just stopping by, we invite you to be a part of our anniversary celebration from 4pm to 6pm on the station concourse.

We’ll be marking the occasion with a delicious celebratory cake, which will be cut and shared around 5pm, alongside refreshments for you to enjoy while they last. This will also be a great opportunity to catch up with or meet other friendly residents who are living in your area.

There will also be music, family-friendly activities and games with prizes to be won courtesy of our colleagues at Govia Thameslink Railway.

This event is open for everyone to attend and celebrate together – why not bring your friends, families or neighbours along with you to. Please RSVP at transformingbx@barnet.gov.uk

Protect your valuables for free

Barnet Council’s Community Safety Team will also be hosting a pop-up hub where you can speak to the team about issues affecting your area, as well as register your tech via a secure online property marking/recording service. This means that you can have personal belongings such as phones, laptops and tablets logged, making it easier to track and be reunited with if they are lost or stolen.

With Christmas just around the corner, it’s ideal for any tech gifts that you’ve bought for loved ones. More details on the service can be read here.
