Barnet House, London, Office building in Whetstone, London, United Kingdom.
Barnet House stands as a twelve-story office block at 1255 High Road, featuring alternating bands of concrete and metal-framed windows throughout its structure.
The building, completed in 1966 and designed by architect Richard Seifert, replaced Woodside villa, which served as a care home from 1889 onwards.
Initially commissioned as Ever Ready House for the British Ever Ready Electrical Company, the building later became the main offices for Barnet London Borough Council.
The building offers direct access to multiple transport links, including nearby Underground stations and bus routes connecting to central London and surrounding areas.
In 2017, a rejected proposal sought to convert the building into 254 residential flats, with some units measuring only 16 square meters.
