Village Road is the heart of the Finchley Garden Village conservation area.

Village Road feeds into Hendon Avenue to the north and Cyprus Avenue to south.

There is no vehicular access from the west, although two footpaths link Village Road with Windsor Open Space, the Brookside Walk and Holders Hill Road beyond. The Finchley Garden Village conservation area is tightly drawn and its boundary follows the rear garden boundaries on each side of Village Road.

The land on which the road now sits was first developed in 1909.

Village Road was originally a private road and its status was ensured by means of a gate at its junction with Hendon Avenue, while a rope or chain was used to restrict access from Cyprus Avenue. In 1941 the central green was taken over by the local council and used for allotments during the war. Then in 1955 a metalled public road replaced the rough private track and was adopted by Finchley Borough Council.
