The Finchley Society has been caring for Finchley since 1971. Join the Finchley Society's Archive Manager on a leisurely stroll around North Finchley to explore how it has changed and continues to change through time. Starting
from the beginning, with how the Society began whilst saving the Lodge Lane cottages, examples from the Archives and campaigns will illustrate how local residents, working together through the Finchley Society, have and continue to conserve, enhance, inform and educate for the benefit of Finchley. Add to the Finchley Society's Archive by sharing your own experiences of Finchley and hopes for Finchley of the future.

The walk will be taken at a leisurely pace, walking short distances and stopping frequently. There will be no formal seats available along the route but there may be opportunities to sit on walls etc. Winifred Way has a short length of cobbles but these can be avoided by using an alternative route via pavements. There are publicly accessible toilets, drinking water, a children's play area and places to sit at the Arts Depot( 5 Nether Street N12 0GA), a 5 minute walk from Lodge Lane car park. A large number of buses travel along North Finchley High Road, some starting or finishing at the bus station below the Arts Depot, including 13, 460, 125, 134, 112. 221. It is 10 minutes walk up hill from Woodside Park tube station. The 383 bus from the station can be used to get up the hill to the High Road. If travelling from the south it may be better to take the tube to Finchley Central station (lifts available) rather than having to cross the footbridge bridge at Woodside Park. The 125 bus can be caught in Finchley Central (bus stop C) along North Finchley High Road to bus stop C - Torrington Park. Covered cycle parking is available at Woodside Park station and cycle parking hoops along the High Road in North Finchley. Paid parking is available at Lodge Lane car park for those that have to drive.
