Top 10 Things to do in Edgware, United Kingdom (UK)
Edgware (/ˈɛdʒwɛər/) is a district of northern Greater London, in the London Borough of Barnet. Edgware is centred 9.5 miles (15.3 km) north-northwest of Charing Cross and has its own commercial centre. Edgware has a generally suburban character, typical of the rural-urban fringe. It was an ancient parish in the county of Middlesex. The community benefits from some elevated woodland on a high ridge marking the Hertfordshire border of gravel and sand. Edgware is identified in the London Plan as one of the capital's 35 major centres. Edgware is principally a shopping and residential area and one of the northern termini of the Northern line. It has a bus garage, a shopping centre called the Broadwalk, a library, a hospital—Edgware Community Hospital, and two streams—Edgware Brook and Deans Brook, both tributaries of a small brook known as Silk Stream, which in turn merges with the River Brent at Brent Reservoir.

1. Bentley Priory Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 125 reviews
Bentley Priory Museum, previously RAF Headquarters Fighter Command, is a site of national historical importance and from where the Battle of Britain was won. We are a small private charitable trust ensuring that the legacy of 'The One, The Few and The Many' is not lost; but appreciated, celebrated and commemorated for many years to come. Throughout the year we welcome individuals, groups, schools and corporate organisations to come and explore the splendour of this amazing Sir John Soane extended property, which has hints of Italian grandeur and where many Second World War and Cold War secrets were hidden within.

We’ve lived in Stanmore for thirty years and grew up looking through the fence at Bentley priory mansion so visiting it was great. The building is magnificent with ornate wooden staircases and spectacular stained glass windows. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and gave us an information sheets and map to help us find our way around. Our five year old enjoyed learning about the role of the spitfires and hurricanes aircraft. The museum is very interactive with vintage telephones to listen to conversations of times gone by. The ballroom has a small cockpit plane for the kids to explore complete with helmet and jacket. We loved learning about the role Bentley priory played during the war. The video we watched was very informative and interactive. The grounds look amazing, we look forward to exploring them in the warmer months. We enjoyed a hot cup of tea in the beautiful cafe which over looks the Gardens. I would recommend buying the yearly membership if you’re planning on more than one visit. Great day out and very educational.
2. The Hive Stadium

One of the better newer stadiums in football. The one thing that could improve Barnet FCs home is more local support. On a blustery autumn day the home fans were out numbered in their own ground by Cambridge fans. Which didn't stop them taking all the points but.
Staff were friendly and non officious. Food queues were under control, toilet facilities clean and stocked. Nice view from top of away end (including Wembley Stadium) no pillars so all sight lines good.

Not a particularly large shopping centre,particularly when people only have to a handful of stops on the tube to go to Brent Cross.It was originally to be built with a cinema,after the old ABC was closed but this was lost along the way.

I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed holding our special christening reception here for our daughter.The service and atmosphere and quality of food & drinks are outstanding.
I have moved out to the country but I always come back here to real country charm with the warmth and friendliness delights you.
A special thank you to Alex who looked after all our needs all day. I hadn’t met him before and thought Richard you really did employ someone special there, that goes the extra mile.
I may not live in Bushey anymore but I will always consider the Horse & Chains my local.
Thank you for making our daughter Daisy a special day to remember by all.
It was a perfect day as we finished our party by having roast in the bar with family that stayed later.
See you soon Horse & Chains love The Deegan & Woodcock Family xx

Excellent comfy helicopter, everyone gets a view of some sorts. Ask in advance to get the pilot seat!!
Very short flight, along the river, could easily have stayed up a lot longer. Good value when bought through a voucher site!

Canons Park is a large green park with many entrances. The park is surrounded by very fast roads so do keep that in mind. The park has a play area that is suitable for older children- it has really high climbing frames.
There are nice Gardens within the park. A lovely place for a sunny day.

Decided to try the Stanmore Country Park but disappointed as the car park was closed and couldn't find any car parking on the roads around the park. Sign stated due to cuts there was no one available to lock and unlock the gate. Hopefully this is only for the winter. Drove to Aldenham Country Park instead.
