Finchley: Lovers' Walk
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 20 Feb 2011
A glance at old Victorian large scale Ordnance Survey maps shows that a public right of way between Ballard's Lane and Nether Street, and called Lovers' Walk, existed through here long before the railway, the houses and Wentworth Avenue were ever built. It still offers a link between the fleshpots of Ballard's Lane and the houses to the west, such attractions evidently proving too much for one Saturday night reveller, whose regurgitated chicken tikka masala presented an obstruction to shipping on the Sunday morning, fortunately for those of a fragile nature reading this, some way in the distance ahead.
