My girlfriend is moving to Whetstone. I have only
ever been there once, pretty sure I used Tott &
Whet. LU station. It was right out in the country.

Any info regarding the links into London (Tottenham
Court Road Probably) and also gen. opinion
of the area would be good.

Every single part of Totteridge, Whetstone and Oakleigh Park is as near to
perfectly safe as you will ever find at any time of day or night.

As John has said, it's a pleasant and safe area. I lived there for a year
and found the daily Northern Line grind particularly dispiriting though. Far
more so than any other regular journey I've ever done (you should get a seat
in the morning, though). I chose to live round there for the 'country' feel
alluded to in the OP and still being within a reasonable tube journey of
town. A year later I moved back to zone 2...

The Northern Line does, of course, serve Tottenham Court Road so at least
there's no changing involved.

I never really found much to do in Totteridge or Whetstone. The Orange Tree
is (was) a nice pub and Totteridge is certainly green.

The Northern Line to Tottenham Court Road is not as frequent or reliable
as
some other Tube lines, but it beats pretty much any BR line.

I found the BR ok but I lived some distance from Oakleigh Park. As I said,
daily use of the Northern Line depressed me beyond belief but there's not
really another option! The buses seemed ok on the rare occasions I used
them.

HTH,

Tom
