King George V Playing Fields, Totteridge
King George V Playing Fields is an area of playing fields of approximately 14 acres in Totteridge in the London Borough of Barnet. It is located south east of the junction of Barnet Lane and Dollis Brook.
Following the death of King George V in 1936 the King George's Fields Foundation was established to give grants for the establishment of playing fields. The Totteridge fields were originally the third largest of all King George's Fields at 93 acres, and the Foundation gave a grant of £3,000 towards the total capital cost of £62,335.〔''King George's Fields Foundation, Final Report'', 1965, p. 27〕 The rules of the Foundation required permanent preservation of the area as a King George's Field as a memorial to the king,〔''Final Report'', p. 12〕 but less than a fifth of the original size remains.
The ''Master Atlas of Greater London'' shows King George's Fields extending west across Barnet Lane into what is now a farmer's field,〔''Master Atlas of Greater London'' (2009) Geographers' A-Z Map Company Ltd, p. 31〕 and there used to be two 'King George's Fields' logos on stone plinths in the entrance to the field, but in 2012 the plinths were vandalised and the logos removed. North of the current King George's Fields is an area of public open space called Barnet Playing Fields, an area of 72 acres laid out in 1926.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=London Borough of Barnet )〕 It is unclear whether this was ever part of King George's Fields.
