Town twinning
The borough of Barnet has a history of twinning links with urban areas all over the world: in north America, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. These connections were established to promote cultural, social and educational links between areas, as well as encouraging trade links and economic benefits.
Twinned towns:
- Chaville - France
- Jinja - Uganda
- Le Raincy - France
- Montclair - USA
- Morphou - Cyprus
- Ramat Gan - Israel
- Siegen-Wittgenstein - Germany
- Tempelhof - Germany
Today, Barnet has links with eight different towns around the world. Some of these links were established by the smaller councils which existed before the London Borough of Barnet was created in 1964.
