Finchley Road is a designated 4.5-mile (7-kilometre) arterial road in north-west London, England. The Finchley Road starts in St John's Wood near central London as part of the A41; its southern half is a major dual carriageway with high traffic levels[1] often frequented by lorries and long-distance coaches[2] as it connects central London, via the A41 Hendon Way, to the M1 motorway at Brent Cross and other roads at that interchange.
Its northern half, which dissects away from the A41 and is designated as the A598, runs through suburban areas via the centre of Golders Green to Henlys Corner, where the road north of it leads to Finchley, from which Finchley Road gets its name.
Its southern half, in which it gives its name to the centre-west part of Hampstead, has two current railway stations including the name Finchley Road. London Buses route 13 runs through the entire road, while the route 113 runs only in its southern half.
