Could this unassuming statue be pointing the way to the longest tunnel in the world? This, my friends, is East Finchley, and that archer? He’s forever aiming towards Morden, the southern end of the Northern Line. East Finchley itself wasn’t graced by the Underground until 1939, and our arrow-wielding friend arrived a year later. This Art Deco masterpiece by Eric Aumonier is a symbol of East Finchley’s connection to the heart of London. Before the trains and the tunnels, East Finchley was a humble hamlet, first appearing in records way back in 1365. It grew to become the busiest part of Finchley by 1860, a far cry from the tranquil haven it is today. Despite facing the wrath of World War II bombs, it rose from the ashes, a testament to its enduring spirit. While the old village layout might be lost to time, East Finchley’s heart beats strong, a vibrant blend of history and modern life.
