North Finchley was called North End as long ago as 1462. There were few houses until the enclosure of Finchley Common in 1816.

A windmill was built in 1627 but by 1754, the site of the windmill was an inn called the Swan. It was the only building on the road between Fallows corner and Whetstone.

In 1756 Ballards Lane was extended to North End creating a new junction. In the 1820s and 30s a company called the Tally Ho Coach Company kept 16 horses near the corner, the first change of horses for the Birmingham coach.

The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.

The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.

The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades.
