The Society holds eight meetings a year, usually on the last Thursday of January, February, March, April, June, September, October and November. We meet, except where otherwise stated,  in Avenue House at Stephens House and Gardens.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, our “face to face” meetings were suspended in April 2020 and we met instead using Zoom. We returned to Stephens House for our October 2021 meeting. From October 2021 to October 2022 we held hydrid meetings – at Avenue House and on Zoom as well. Subsequent meetings have taken place only at Avenue House.

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.
