The parish of Monken Hadley was part of Middlesex until 1889. There are several places of significance in Hadley. The village area itself was called Monken Hadley, centred on the Anglican church of St Mary. East of this was Hadley Common. West of the village is Hadley Green, north of which is Hadley Highstone.

Golders Green was a hamlet until the 1900s. Much of Golders Green was in a minor manor called Hodford (c1200s). Some have suggested that the name Golders Green may come from a 15th-century Goldherd's mill (located further south near Clitterhouse fields). However it is more likely to come from a local family called Godyere. The green itself probably developed during the 16th century, and was in use by 1612.

The reservoir was created by flooding Cockman's farm in 1835. The Brent and the Silk brooks were dammed and the water from the lake was used to supply the Grand Union Canal. At its greatest extent it covered 400 acres (c1853), but was reduced in the twentieth century to 110 acres. Even so, it is said to contain enough water to fill three million baths, and in 1991 was believed to contain 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) of fish.

East End Road was originally the route from the hamlet of Church End Finchley to the old Great North Road when it ran through Muswell Hill. The road has had various names such as Manor Lane (19th century) and Finchley Road (18th century). In the medieval period a triangle of waste, called Hunts Green (1437), which stretched from Stanley Road to the Junction of Church Lane, was the location of the first hamlet of East End Finchley (1365).
