There are also some unique landmarks in the area including a bronze statue of Spike Milligan and La Delivrance, a 16ft bronze by Emile Guillaume that celebrates an Allied victory in the First World War.

There are numerous fantastic schools in and around Finchley, including highly rated state primaries, state comprehensives and grammar schools, and Woodhouse College sixth form.
