St. Margarets Avenue
This avenue runs from the High Road to Totteridge Lane. It has a sharp left turn at the High Road end, seen here, and an 'S' bend close to the junction with Totteridge Lane. With congestion being a problem on the High Road, this is a popular rat run.

The Green Man
Rebuilt in 1830, the name suggests that this was once a public house and there is a reference to it existing as the Red Lion by 1521. It was catering for waggoners by 1800 and is recorded as having pleasure grounds until the beginning of the 20th century, (information from British History Online). It was converted into a garage and currently carries out services, tyre changes, exhaust and clutch replacements. It used to supply petrol as well and the location of the pumps is still visible as a slightly raised area on the plinth in front of the shop, (just left of centre).

The Bus is Here!
Damp prospective passengers furl their umbrellas and search for their Oyster cards as the southbound 34 bus pulls in on the High Road, Whetstone. Meanwhile another passenger checks the time that her bus is due on the indicator inside the shelter. Another prospective passenger can be seen beyond, risking life and limb, running across the road - it's not a day to miss your bus! The office block behind is Barnet House.
