The jawbones of a whale, forming the entrance to Whalebones Park

Whalebones Park is a 14-acre area of fields and woods in Chipping Barnet, London Borough of Barnet, England, between Barnet Hospital and Wood Street.

It is home to the grade II listed house known as The Whalebones[1] and a whale bone arch.[2][3]

It has been reported that the area is being considered for development, leading to a campaign to save it as a public park.[4][5][6]
