    The presentation by our Planning Committee gave a taste of what the Committee does.

 

The Finchley Society was formed in 1971 to protect, preserve and improve buildings, transport, roads and open spaces in Finchley and Friern Barnet and their environs, and to explore the history and the special features of the area. The Society is independent of Barnet Borough Council and of all political parties.

The Society  is one of the most active amenity groups in the Borough. It has a record of vigorous action in defence of the local environment, through practical conservation and careful consideration of all planning issues.

We are supported by donations and subscriptions and all our work is done by volunteers. You can join the Society here.

You can find us on Facebook, YouTube, and  Flickr.  You can also follow us on X / Twitter, or on our RSS feed,  Our Archives have an Instagram page here.
