AS a tube station it has always been Finchley
I think he means Finchley Central
but ion steam days it
was Finchley and Hendon and then Finchley Church End.
I may be wrong but I thought I'd seen an old tube map with "Church
End" on. Any links to old maps?

Between them, these two sites provide maps for every year in the relevant
period.
The station was included on the tube maps as part of the planned extensions
of the Northern Line, named as follows:
1937: Finchley Central [geographic map]
1938: Finchley (Church End)
1939: Finchley (Church End)
From 1940, it is shown as a Northern Line station, and is always Finchley
Central, as far as I can see.
Incidentally, at

item 15 is a 1927 tube/tram/bus ticket that refers to the station as
"Church End Station (Finchley)".
