In 1826 an act of parliament allowed the construction of a new turnpike road between Marylebone and Finchley which in Finchley was called Regents Park Road. This meant that travellers had to pay to use the road, and the money raised was spent on the road's repair. When the road got as far as Finchley it continued on the same route as the old Ballards Lane (known since 1424). This is why there is a sudden change in the road name at its junction with Hendon Lane. The new turnpike was completed in 1829.
