Chipping Barnet, also called High Barnet or simply Barnet, is a suburban market town in north London and part of the modern borough of Barnet, London, UK. It is one of the highest urban settlements in London, hence the name "High Barnet." In 1471, an important battle of the War of the Roses was fought near Barnet, where Edward IV defeated Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, who was leading the opposing army for the House of Lancaster.
