Lovely high street just 15 minute walk up the hill from Finchley Road. Great to explore the high street shops and local pubs.
Highlights include the little cafes in the back streets and Venchi ice cream on the high street.
The Heath is behind the high street and is great to explore on long walks. Visit the running track, playgrounds, lido or even the ponds! The view from Kite hill is also great.
