Church end is a cozy, leafy suburban area, with nice properties. There are lots of new Cafes & Bars opening up, & I would consider it a nice place to go out for a decent cup of coffee or a nice meal.
Finchley
Have been living there for over 30 years and would not consider going elsewhere.
Finchley Central
A lovely residential area with many pubs/bars and restaurants.
Although slightly out of Zone 1, Central London is very accessible.
