Monken Hadley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monken Hadley is a place in the London Borough of Barnet. It is a suburban development situated 11 miles (17.7 km) north north-west of Charing Cross.
Monken Hadley was originally a civil parish of Middlesex forming part of a small protrusion into Hertfordshire. In 1889, under the Local Government Act 1888, the civil parish was transferred to Hertfordshire. Under the Local Government Act 1894 the parish was split with a Hadley parish becoming part of the Barnet Urban District, while the remaining part of the parish became part of the East Barnet Urban District of Hertfordshire.
In 1965, under the London Government Act 1963, its area was transferred to Greater London and combined with that of other districts formerly in Hertfordshire and Middlesex to form the present-day London Borough of Barnet. [1]
Monken Hadley has a King George's Field in memorial to King George V. It is popular with local teams in the summer for playing cricket.
The field descends into the Hadley Wood woods, which make their way into East Barnet Golf course.
