Buxted Road was laid out in 1913.
In the 1927 edition of Kelly’s Directory of Finchley and Friern Barnet, the name Buxted Road appears, but no houses are shown. By the 1929 edition there are 10 houses on the north side and 4 on the south side. Even by the 1939 edition, there were no houses beyond Horsham Avenue on the south side.
