Default Station Close, Finchley Central

Can anyone shed any light then as to how/when/where the disused building at
the top of Nether Street fits into all this? And why is that building so
much higher than the present line?

You can see it behind Lorenzos on street level, or opposite the Central pub.
Can also see it from the train line if going between Finchley Central and
West Finchley. You'll need to look up from there, however, but it definitely
looks like an old station.

Hi all,

Has Finchley Central station been relocated from the Station Close area?

Did
the station's name change when it was relocated? TIA.


David Leboff's book confirms my view that is is still the original
Great Northern station. I am not clear whether the relative status of
the entrances was changed at some point however..

AS a tube station it has always been Finchley but ion steam days it
was Finchley and Hendon and then Finchley Church End.
