You will always find that certain areas, especially in London, are occupied by a specific type of resident, but in Finchley the locals are a well-balanced community of young singles, professional couples, families and older couples. A house needs several elements to become a home and here the leafy streets lead to secluded woodlands encircled by commuting links, including road and rail, as well as charming period homes.

Forget the regimented, landscaped parks squeezed into inner-city London, the picturesque scenery here provides a perfect backdrop for the calm and peaceful lifestyle enjoyed by Finchley’s residents.
