Where to stay in Potters Bar

St. Giles, South Mimms Parish Church of South Mimms, seen from within the churchyard. The church tower is at the Blanche Lane end. This view is from beside the footpath that leads from Blanche Lane to St. Albans Road, behind me. The church is a nice example of a flint-knapped building. The chancel dates to the 13th century and the tower to circa 1450

Barnet physic well is a natural mineral spring containing iron salts. The waters were said to provoke urination which was thought to be of benefit to the humours. Pepys records a visit to the well in 1664 and was impressed enough to return three years later. The current building dates from 1937 and access is restricted. Grade II listed. Nearest station: High Barnet.
