#VEDay2025 marks 80 years since Victory in Europe at the end of World War II. To commemorate the sacrifice of so many, we went back to a ration-style menu in the EBS Kitchen. From Lord Woolten pie and spam fritters to bread and butter pudding, students enjoyed the 1940s flavours!
Visit Barnet Museum to explore centuries of local heritage, from the Battle of Barnet to life in the borough through the ages. 🏛️ A must-visit for history lovers!
