Looking south from Totteridge Lane
Looking south from Totteridge Lane

The Dollis Brook is a river running through North London. It rises on Moat Mount Open Space in Mill Hill in the London Borough of Barnet. After flowing under Hendon Wood Lane (B552) its course is eastwards through areas of open space. It forms the northern boundary of Totteridge. Following a further 1.5 miles (2.4km), at Totteridge Park Open Space, the Dollis Valley Greenwalk, part of the London Outer Orbital Path, goes beside it. Here the Brook's course takes it between Chipping Barnet and Totteridge, although there are still large playing fields and other open spaces immediately along its banks.
