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.

Honestly a very large room for London. Not much of a view from my room but a good trade off as it made the room very quiet at night. Having access to a small kitchen was really nice. 24/7 front desk and they were all really friendly
