The Cypriot town of Morphou has been twinned with Barnet since 1995
The Greek Cypriots of the town fled in the wake of the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus and the twinning is with the council in exile in Limassol
In 2008 Barnet named a new road in Mill Hill East after the town

The connection with Montclair in New Jersey is a special one and began during WW2 when 52 Finchley evacuees went to the town. The Americas sent back food and clothing parcel
The connection continued for many years and was finally formalised in the 1980s
