The Compass Residential Guide to Life in
Finchley & Woodside Park
A melting pot of Victorian and Edwardian family residences mixed with contemporary commuter homes 7 miles north of Central London, Finchley and Woodside Park boast an abundance of commercial opportunities, shopping, excellent transport links, green spaces, high quality schools and leisure activities.
Finchley comprises four ‘villages’ in the shape of North Finchley, West Finchley, East Finchley and Finchley Central, each with its own distinctive character. Woodside Park is a mainly residential area, nestled just north of Finchley on the road to Barnet
Bisecting the area is Ballards Lane, which forks southwards into the Finchley Road in the direction of London’s West End, and south-west into Finchley Lane, heading to Hendon and all points west.
With a diverse mix of independent shops, retail chains and supermarkets close by, Finchley is packed with restaurants, street cafés pubs and bars, parks and office accommodation, and the borough is twinned with four partner towns:
• Jinja, Uganda, since 1963
• Le Raincy, France, since 1962
• Montclair, United States, since 1945
• Siegen-Wittgenstein, Germany, since 1951.
Finchley probably means "Finch's clearing" or "finches' clearing" in late Anglo-Saxon; the medieval Great North Road, which ran through the common, was notorious for highwaymen until the early 19th century.
