The Hive away end is Stand '66, the single-tier North Stand behind one goal at Barnet's ground on Camrose Avenue, and the way most visiting fans reach it is the Jubilee line to Canons Park, one stop short of Stanmore, where the city gives way to playing fields. Barnet say the site entrance is a two-minute walk from the station. If you had York City at The Hive pencilled in for this Saturday, though, read the next part before you buy a train ticket.
York's trip to The Hive has moved to Tuesday 27 October
Barnet v York City is off this weekend. On 14 September the club confirmed that at least three Barnet players would be away on international duty during the October window, which meets the EFL's criteria for a postponement, so the League Two match set for Saturday 3 October was called off along with Barnet's trip to Crawley Town on 26 September. On 25 September Barnet announced the new date: Tuesday 27 October, kick-off 7:45pm.
Tickets already bought stay valid. If a Tuesday night in north-west London doesn't work, Barnet say refund requests go through your ticketing account by 5pm on Monday 26 October. The clocks go back on the Sunday before, so that 7:45pm is GMT, and the walk back to Canons Park will be in the dark.
It's a fixture York fans will want to keep. On 1 October 2022, in the National League, York won 5-0 at The Hive, the widest margin in the four meetings our records hold. Our LNER Community Stadium away guide covers the return trip to York.
Stand '66: the away end behind the north goal
Visiting clubs' guidance agrees on the stand. Cheltenham Town's supporters' trust, ahead of a February 2026 visit, said away fans are housed in Stand 66, and York's own February 2024 travel notes call it the Stand Sixty-Six. It sits behind the north goal, all seated and single tier.
On size, the Football Ground Guide, updated in July 2026, gives Stand '66 a capacity of 1,922. Wikipedia says the North Stand was built for 1,890. Either way, plan for roughly 1,900 seats. We couldn't find a published 2026/27 allocation, and how much a visiting club gets depends on demand, which our explainer on away end capacity at English grounds unpicks in detail.
The stand is only ten years old. When Leyton Orient visited in September 2016, Barnet told their fans they would be "housed in the newly-built North Stand for the first time". The Football Ground Guide notes there are no supporting pillars and decent height between rows, so the view from behind the goal runs uninterrupted.
On tickets, Cheltenham's trust said seats were sold only through Barnet's own ticketing site, and York's 2024 notes said the same. Check what your club announces for your fixture. On the day, Barnet open the stadium 90 minutes before kick-off, and the away ticket office sits around the back of the North Stand.
From Canons Park to the turnstiles
Barnet's own directions are the ones to follow: turn left out of Canons Park station onto Whitchurch Lane and walk for two minutes to The Hive entrance. That gets you onto the site; the Football Ground Guide reckons ten minutes to the away end itself, across the playing fields.
The club gives two backups. Queensbury, also on the Jubilee line, is about ten minutes on foot: left onto Turner Road, right at the end, and the entrance is across the road. Edgware on the Northern line is about a mile away, and the 340, 186 and 79 buses run from Edgware station to Canons Park, with the 288 and 688 going to Camrose Avenue.
If stairs are an issue, note that TfL lists no lifts at Canons Park, so check step-free options on TfL before you travel.
Driving to The Hive
The postcode is HA8 6AG. Barnet say there is room for up to 500 cars on site at £8 on matchdays, first come, first served. Spaces can't be reserved, and you pay once you're on site. There are six wider bays for Blue Badge holders in the main car park. TfL also lists a car park at Canons Park station. Every route in ends on Camrose Avenue, with The Hive on your right just past the width restriction.
Bar 66, burgers and the pre-match pint
Barnet's matchday guidance names Bar 66 as the away supporters' bar, alongside the Legends Bar and Hive Bar for home fans. Inside, the club says the kiosks mostly do burgers and chips with hot and cold drinks and snacks, and you can't drink alcohol in view of the pitch, so finish up on the concourse.
Outside, the choice is thin: suburban streets one way, sports pitches the other. The Football Ground Guide and Cheltenham's trust both list Moranos at 12 Station Parade, Canons Park, right by the station, and J.J. Moon's on Kingsbury Road at Kingsbury Circle. Those are secondary listings, so check before you build a day around them. Bags bigger than an airline cabin bag go into the Safety Officer's office for collection after the match, according to the club, and every bag is searched.
For wheelchair users, Barnet list 28 bays in the West Stand and 14 in the East Stand, each ticket including a carer. Call the club on 020 8381 3800 to book.
A football ground in the middle of a sports park
The Hive is the centrepiece of a whole sports campus. It stands on the former Prince Edward Playing Fields in Canons Park, inside the London Borough of Harrow, so Barnet's home games are played in Harrow. Wikipedia describes a 44-acre site with pitches for hire, a gym, a banqueting suite and the club's training ground, which Trevor Brooking and Fabio Capello opened in 2009. The London Bees women's team play here too.
The stadium opened in July 2013, and Barnet bought the freehold from Harrow council in 2018. The official capacity is 6,500 and the record crowd is 6,215, for a 3-3 draw with Brentford on 28 January 2019, both per Wikipedia. Construction on the site first started in 2003 as a planned home for Wealdstone, before that project stalled.
What you're walking into this season
Barnet are top of the League Two table on 15 points, unbeaten in the league after seven games with four wins and three draws, and their 17 goals are the most in the division. They've played one game fewer than most of the division, with the Crawley trip still to be replayed. Their last two home games were wins, 2-1 against Accrington Stanley and 3-1 against Fleetwood Town.
Barnet's next home dates, from our fixtures feed converted to UK time, plus the rearranged York game from the club:
- Tue 20 Oct, 7:45pm: Barnet vs Swindon Town
- Sat 24 Oct, 3pm: Barnet vs Oldham Athletic
- Tue 27 Oct, 7:45pm: Barnet vs York City, rearranged
- Sat 21 Nov, 3pm: Barnet vs Port Vale
- Tue 1 Dec, 7:45pm: Barnet vs Rotherham United
That's three home games in eight days at the end of October, two of them on Tuesday nights, so pack a coat for the platform at Canons Park.
