The London Equestrian Centre is a well-established, family-run riding school set in 34 acres of green belt land on the Mill Hill and Finchley border in the London Borough of Barnet, with easy access from Mill Hill East station on the Northern Line. Approved by the British Horse Society, the centre has built a strong local reputation over 35 years for approachable teaching staff and a carefully curated string of horses and ponies to suit all standards. The site includes a café called Gee Gee's and ample parking. The centre is particularly family-friendly, offering structured lessons for children from age four and short Tiny Tot rides for three-year-olds, making it one of the few London venues to welcome children under five on horseback. Livery places are available alongside the main riding school. Pony days, young rider training, and birthday parties are also offered throughout the year.
