Meads Open Space

Designs will include flood storage and river restoration. 

Where is Meads Open Space?

Meads Open Space is in the London Borough of Barnet west of Mill Hill, it is the green space that follows the Burnt Oak Brook from Lyndhurst Park to (almost) Watling Park. Click here for link to Google Maps. 

What phase is Meads Open Space in the Co-Design process?

Community mapping: This site has been shortlisted as a joint site with Lyndhurst Park.

A public consultation took place on March 15th 2025. This gave us the opportunity to talk to local residents again with some detailed designs for the green space which have been drawn up by our landscape architects.

Our proposed scheme includes:

  • general landscaping including new low-lying mounds and meadow areas.
  • adjusting the slopes of the channel banks in the Burnt Oak Brook to be safer and more stable, while increasing the storage of water in the Meads Open space.
  • introducing natural flood management features to the channel such as landscaping mounds (small bunds) and wetland storage areas.

Once plans have been finalised, work will begin in early 2026. All updates to timeframes will be published here.
