Town twinning
Barnet has links with 9 towns around the world. These connections were established to promote cultural, social and educational links between areas, as well as encouraging trade links and economic benefits.
- Friends of Chaville in Barnet organises social and cultural events to Chaville, France
- Friends of Siegerland in Barnet organises exchange visits with the area called Siegen-Wittgenstein (formerly known as Siegerland) in Germany.
- Jinja, Uganda
- Le Raincy, France
- Montclair, USA
- Morphou, Cyprus
- Ramat Gan, Israel
- Tempelhof, Germany

Many of the links were made by the smaller councils which existed before the London Borough of Barnet was created in 1965.
