An interesting week of tweets in the London Borough of Barnet. Here's our selection of the best.

1. This diagram fascinated me. I knew Mill Hill was the highest place with a London postcode, but it is interesting to see how it compares to the rest of the Thameslink line

2. A lovely piece of local history

On leaving Parliament, William Wilberforce retired to an estate at Highwood Hill & paid to build a chapel nearby, now St Paul's, Mill Hill, as the parish church was not close & was difficult to reach during winter floods.

5. Do you support local libraries? Action is needed! If you have a few pounds to spare, please contribute

You've donated over £1500 towards our £30k target to complete the library. Average donation was £46.26. There are over 16,000 homes in Cricklewood. If every household gave just £2.00, we'd be fully funded. Please give. https://t.co/xvWB2kgJ7U
