The Brent Cross Cricklewood development is Barnet Council’s most significant growth and regeneration programme. The vision is to create a thriving town centre with attractive and high quality houses and green spaces. Alongside a modernised shopping centre, the development will be served by an additional train station, and a new high street providing local shops, restaurants and offices. We want the area to be a vibrant place to live, work and socialise.

Hog Market and Church Lane (Finchley N2)
Last updated: 19 November, 2018
The Market Place takes its name from a large pig market which started around the 1660s. By the end of the 18th century Finchley's pig market was the largest in Middlesex, with market days on Wednesday and Thursday. Pig drovers from as far away as Shropshire would sell the pigs to London butchers or to local farmers. Deals were done at houses with names like The Sow and Pigs. It was said that the pigs were fed on grain that had been used for distilling gin.
