High Barnet on the Northern Line is 5mins from Underhill.

Can't help with the 2nd part of your question

Underhill to the Hive isn't that easy, for Barnet FC games the club lays on shuttle buses. There are a couple of buses, 107 from Barnet or get the tube to Whetstone and the 251 bus to Edgware.

Easiest option is probably get the tube into town and change to get the tube to Edgware or Canons Park but that's 1 1/2hrs.

However you do it, if you're not driving then it's at least an hour and probably nearer an 1 1/2hrs.

Going on a journey planner website the best I could find for this Sat is :

Barnet, Barnet Church Wood Street, Stop E
Take 13:52 Bus 107 towards Edgware Station and get off at Borehamwood, Stirling Corner, Stop A (on Barnet Lane)
Take Bus 292 towards Colindale, Colindale Asda and get off at Edgware, Whitchurch Lane (S-Bound) (on EDGWARE HIGH STREET)
Then walk for about 19 mins to the centre of Canons Park arrive 14:57.

If you stay on the 107 then you get to the Hive at 15:03.

I live next to Barnet Hospital and I catch the 614 UNO bus BUT it runs at only 1 an hour on Saturday and not at all on Sunday.

From Underhill itself I'd go with the option of tube to Tott&Whet, 251 towards Edgware and then walk up Camrose Ave to the stadium.
If you have a bit of money there's a taxi company above Dominoes on Barnet High St

I will be doing the same thing and I live quite local. Get the 251 either from Totteridge and Whetstone station or walk up to Totteridge Lane and get the 251 to the bus stop near Camrose Avenue. I think the bus stop will be Blood Transfusion Centre.

Camrose Avenue bus stop is "Edgware Community Hospital"

Re: Underhill to Hive. : Thu May 08, 2014 3:25 pm  

I made a slight mistake the 614 is every TWO hours
0828
1028
1228
1428
1628
1828 from the back of the Spires shopping centre.

Take you direct to Queensbury station which is a short walk to the ground

I wouldn't trust the buses on a Saturday in that neck'o'the woods, just take the Northern Line to Kings Cross, Fast Met' line up to Wembley Park, Jubilee Line from there, just on an hour and a half. I'm at work now, so when I'm not busy I'll check the engineering works.

Just checked on the WEPM and the EEWP, theres nothing affecting the Northern, Metropolitan and Jubilee Lines this weekend, so your journey should be between 1hrs 30 and 1hrs 40 by tube.

Now here's a thought... why not drive unless you're planning on being non compos mentis.
