Greenspaces
The West Finchley Neighbourhood has allotments, the Dollis Valley Greenwalk and many small areas of open space. Above all, and centrally within the neighbourhood is the open space of the former Brent Lodge and grounds that were gifted to the people of Finchley by Augustus Cooper in 1939.
The walk beside the brook is part of the Greenwalk which is about 10 miles long and can take up to 6 hours to walk from Barnet to Hampstead.

Nestled between Nether Street (at the top of the photograph to the left), Finchley Way, Penstemon Close and Hamilton Way this open space of greenfield and wooded area was left to the people of Finchley in the will of Augustus Cooper in 1939.
West Finchley open space - gift to the community
