Looking north-west along the London-bound platform. The train is for Kennington via Charing Cross. Finchley Central opened as Finchley (Church End) in 1867,and was an intermediate station on the Great Northern's Edgware line, via Mill Hill. The line to High Barnet was not added until 1872. All trains had steam traction until 1939, when the line closed, to re-open in 1940 as part of the London Underground Northern line.
