Finchley Church End
Barnet, London
Finchley Church End occupies the historic core of Finchley around the parish church of St Mary, where Ballards Lane and Hendon Lane meet. The ward carries 29 listed buildings including three at Grade II*: the Manor House, the Parish Church of St Mary and the bronze statue of La Délivrance at Henlys Corner. The Finchley Central Northern line station anchors the ward, around 35 hectares of green space include Victoria Park and Avenue House gardens, and eight outstanding schools sit within reach. Over 60 food venues line the high road. The downsides are air pollution along the North Circular and Ballards Lane, a planning score close to zero reflecting very little new housing, and a market that has cooled — prices are softer than in the west-Barnet streets but still out of reach for many renters.
