NEW A V E N U E Oakwood & beyond Right on your doorstep, Southgate, Cockfosters, and Barnet are all within easy reach and offer a wide selection of restaurants, shops, caf é s, and entertainment. From the well-loved chains of Marks & Spencer, Asda Superstore, and several high street banks, you also have The Spires Shopping Centre in Barnet just 18-minutes’ drive away offering top high street brands but also smaller indie and boutique stores. For arts and culture you’re rather spoiled too, as Southgate’s Chickenshed Theatre is based just around the corner with theatre, comedy, music, pantomime and much more. Catch the latest Hollywood releases at the Everyman Cinema in Barnet, with delicious food delivered to you on comfy sofas. And if you need some movement in your life, the Southgate Leisure Centre is less than five minutes from New Avenue so keeping fit couldn’t be easier. This well-equipped facility offers a six-lane swimming pool, a gym with over 80 stations, over 150 fitness classes per week, and a health suite to wind down in. Aside from exploring the sprawling Country Park, and Parkside Farm where you can pick your own fruit and veggies, you can also enjoy a few afternoon holes at the Trent Park Golf Club with its spectacular views over the rolling landscape. Green spaces are all around you in Oakwood, but you should definitely pay a visit to the Oak Hill Wood Nature Reserve. However, if you’re feeling a little more adventurous, why not go for a walk among the treetops at Go Ape Cockfosters? If R & R is more your thing, there’s a Champneys Spa in Enfield.
