Totteridge is a place in the London Borough of Barnet. It was in Hertfordshire until the creation of Greater London in 1965.
The nominal boundary to the north and east is the Dollis Brook and to the south is that river's tributary, the Folly Brook . While these rivers define the parish and the area covered by the residents' association, the southern part of the area (with postcode N12 rather than N20) is generally regarded as being in Woodside Park .
The main road is the A5109, which runs roughly east-west. The western part is called Totteridge Common, the central part by the village green is called Totteridge Village and the eastern part is called Totteridge Lane; the Lane continues to High Road Whetstone. At the western end of Totteridge Common is a set of traffic lights; the road to the right, Hendon Wood Lane, is just to the west of the western boundary.
Totteridge Village itself has many spacious detached properties in a rural setting that are highly valued - some of the most expensive houses in London. Thus its past and present residents include the rich and famous, such as Frankie Vaughan and many top footballers. More modest housing predominates at the eastern end of Totteridge.
