Green Lane, N2

Also known as Philips Lane in its history, it joined the central portion of East End Road to Long Lane.

Between 1808 and 1835 the lane was the location of a house rented as Finchley’s workhouse and was called Workhouse Lane as a consequence. A bridge over the railway, built in the 1860s, was removed in the 1960s.

The building of the North Circular Road in the 1920s paralleled Green Lane to its west.

Briar Close was partly laid along its course and a remnant, unnamed section exists beyond the railway.
