What we've learned working Finchley
Finchley splits sharply across N3, N12 and N2 — the East Finchley side has tighter Victorian terraces and rear-alley access, while N12 around Woodside Park is post-war semis with proper rear gardens. Spec varies accordingly. Church End Conservation Area covers most of the historic streets around Avenue House — visible boundary materials restricted to painted timber or wrought iron. Fallow Court Avenue and Squires Lane share back-alley plots where every gate needs to align with a shared pedestrian corridor — measurements agreed with neighbours in advance. Nether Street was built over the old River Mutton culvert — waterlogged sub-base under most rear boundaries requires 900mm deep concrete on posts.
