Finchley Central tube station

Finchley Central tube station is a London Underground station in the Finchley Central area of north London.

The station is on the High Barnet branch of the Northern Line, between West Finchley and East Finchley stations, and is the junction for the short stub branch to Mill Hill East station. The station has three platforms. One is southbound. Two are northbound, one used mainly for trains terminating at Finchley Central or going to Mill Hill East, the other mainly for trains going to High Barnet. The station is entirely above ground. It is in Travelcard Zone 4.

The station was originally part of the Great Northern Railway before it became part of the London Underground, and was then known as Finchley Church End. The station car park used to be the goods yard with freight services being discontinued in 1967.

An unusual aspect of its layout, with two entrances, yet one ticket hall means that it is one of those few stations on the London Underground that does not have fully gated access, yet it does have a line of ticket barriers which are very rarely set to be closed. At the Station Road entrance, there's just a pair of Oyster card validators.

There is currently no disabled access to the platforms, which must be reached by flights of stairs. However, the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, has announced that Finchley Central will be one of a number of stations on the Northern Line which will be upgraded to allow disabled access.
