Looking for info on when this was built, I found both of the above names seem to be in use. The first web sites you come to are all from Estate Agents, who happily use both names, but eventually there is a helpful page from Barnet Borough which definitely calls this Arcade House and says it was built in 1911. More info. including how this area came to be known as Temple Fortune, is on https://www.barnet.gov.uk/citizen-home/libraries/local-studies-and-archives/pocket-histories/hendon-and-golders-green/temple-fortune-hendon-nw11.html
