From Finchley Common, a few miles north, to Barnet Common (also stolen). Barnet's 'physic well' was famous in the 18th century for its diuretic waters, but you'd best not drink the stuff these days. The pseudo-Tudor well house dates from 1937, and was restored in 2018. They did a great job.

Barnet Common and Physic Well

Barnet Common covered the whole area south of Wood Street including places such as Duck Island, and Underhill as far as the Dollis. Originally the area was a wood, which was cleared to form the common by the 16th century. In 1649 there was a short lived Digger community on the common, and around the same time the local clay was used for bricks.
