We acquired Great North Leisure Park, an 11.2 acre site on High Road, North Finchley in the London Borough of Barnet in early 2023.
In 2025, proposals were submitted to transform the underutilised brownfield site into a new mixed-use neighbourhood centred on health, wellbeing and active living.
A VIBRANT NEW MIXED-USE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Arada London acquired Great North Leisure Park, an 11.2-acre site on High Road, North Finchley, in early 2023. In 2025, proposals were submitted to transform the underutilised brownfield site into a new mixed-use neighbourhood centred on health, wellbeing and active living.
The scheme will deliver 1,502 new mixed-tenure homes alongside a new public leisure destination, extensive public realm improvements and enhanced connections to surrounding open spaces. At its heart will be the new Finchley Leisure Centre, featuring indoor swimming pools, a gym, sauna and steam facilities, children’s play facilities and an outdoor lido overlooking Glebelands.
In May 2026, the Mayor of London granted planning permission for the scheme following a call-in hearing, enabling the delivery of a significant new neighbourhood that combines housing, leisure, health and community infrastructure. The development will create a more connected and pedestrian-friendly environment, improve access to nature and establish a new destination for sport, leisure and healthy living in Barnet.
