General information
Completed 1964

Barnet House is an eleven-story office block at 1255 High Road, on the corner of Baxendale, at Whetstone, London, N20.

It was built as an office block, Ever Ready House, the headquarters of the British Ever Ready Electrical Company, before later becoming offices for the London Borough of Barnet.

In March 2017, it was announced that it would be converted into 254 flats, some as small as 16 square metres. The size of the smallest flats in the building was criticised by local councillors with one saying "These rabbit hutch homes would turn Barnet House into a human filing cabinet".

Barnet Council uses part of the building, although it does not own it, including its housing department.
