With the news October is going to be off to a warm start, there’s still plenty of time to get out there and see what Barnet has to offer.

London can expect highs between 18C and 20C through the coming week, the Met Office has announced.

Here’s a few reasons to stay outdoors this autumn, share yours in the comments below.

Alexandra Palace

Only a short trip out of the borough into neighbouring Haringey, Ally Pally offers a beautiful park to relax in and some of the best panoramic views of London you can find.

Dinosaur Crazy Golf

To keep the kids happy at the weekend while it’s still bright and warm, this wacky adventure gold course in Arkley is a great family day out.

Dollis Brook

The Dollis Valley greenwalk follows this serene lake all the way along, draped in green plant life on all sides, making for a refreshing stroll through nature.

Jack’s Lake

Easily accessible from Hadley Wood or High Barnet, this fishing spot in Northfield Road is peaceful and pretty – perfect for a soothing walk in the sun.

Phoenix Cinema

This independent cinema in East Finchley has a great terrace where you can enjoy a drink or two in the warm weather and, if the clouds come out, you always go inside and watch a film.
