The regeneration of the West Hendon estate, in the south-west of the borough, aims to create a new mixed neighbourhood of social, private and affordable homes with a range of benefits, including a new school and community centre. Why regeneration is taking place Homes on the West Hendon Estate do not meet the Decent Homes Standard. At least £11.5 million would be required to bring existing homes up to Decent Homes Standards; the cost of which would need to be funded by both the council and existing homeowners.

The Market Place takes its name from a large pig market which started around the 1660s. By the end of the 18th century Finchley's pig market was the largest in Middlesex, with market days on Wednesday and Thursday. Pig drovers from as far away as Shropshire would sell the pigs to London butchers or to local farmers. Deals were done at houses with names like The Sow and Pigs. It was said that the pigs were fed on grain that had been used for distilling gin.

Where Brent Cross Shopping Centre is today was a farm called Renters, owned by Geoffrey de Renter in 1309. Until the 17th Century much of Renters was woodland, which was used for making charcoal in the Tudor period. The farmhouse and the area directly around it was used for Hendon Sewage works, and much of the farmland was developed into private housing by the Neeld family. The Neeld family donated land in Park Road for Hendon Cottage Hospital (1913 - 1987).

Hadley Green is about 24 acres in size. The road running through it was the only route north out of Barnet until the New Road (Barnet Road) was built in 1828. The green was known by at least 1345. This makes it the oldest public open space in the London Borough of Barnet. Some buildings that were removed in the 1930s had 15th-century timbers.

By the 14th century there was a road from Hendon up Bittacy Hill and continuing through Highwood Hill, known then and now as The Ridgeway. The roads weren't very good and it was not uncommon for travellers to use the side of the roads as the centres became muddy.

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.
