'Woodside Park' is a suburban residential development in the
London Borough of Barnet, in
postal district N12.
It is very varied in character. The area to the east of the tube station consists predominantly of large
Victorian and
Edwardian houses, many of which have been converted into
flats. The north-western part of the area, which can also be regarded as the part of
Totteridge in N12 rather than
N20, is sometimes called Woodside Park Garden Suburb and consists of semi-detached or detached 3 to 4 bedroom houses built in the
1950s. It includes the Woodside Park Club. The eastern boundary of the Garden Suburb is the
Dollis Brook and the southern boundary is the
Folly Brook. To the south of this Suburb is an area of
1920s and
1930s houses, where many of the roads are named after places in
Sussex, such as Sussex Ring and
Cissbury Ring.
Between the Garden Suburb and the
Northern Line is an area originally of Victorian housing. Many of the houses, including the former residence of
Spike Milligan, have been pulled down and replaced by modern housing or blocks of flats. Much of this area, south of Laurel View and West of Holden Road, consists of a
council estate where
Emma Bunton grew up.
