West Finchley

N12 0 / N12 7 / N12 8 / N3 1 / N3 2

Family-friendly

West Finchley is the quieter sibling between Finchley Central and Woodside Park. It has its own Northern line station but not much in the way of shops or a local centre. Housing is mainly 1930s semis and some Edwardian terraces. It's purely residential, which suits people who want a calm street and a tube station at the end of it. Most shopping and social life happens in Finchley Central or North Finchley.
