Stephens House (formerly Avenue House), 17 East End Road, Finchley N3 3QE
Avenue House is an imposing grade II listed mid Victorian mansion with extensive gardens landscaped by Robert Marnock. These contain a unique collection of trees forming an attractive backdrop to the House. Today the mansion provides comfortable facilities for conferences, business functions, exhibitions, commercial filming, charity fund raising events, weddings and family celebrations as well as lush gardens for the public to enjoy free of charge.
Directions
From standing facing the building cross East End Road on the zebra crossing, turn right and then immediately left into Cavendish Avenue. Follow it as it becomes Upper Cavendish Avenue and then Orchard Avenue, at the end of which turn left (Holly Park), then right (Windermere Avenue) then left (Beechwood Avenue) then right again (Edge Hill Avenue). This takes you to the North Circular road – cross it and head slightly left down the A1 (Falloden Way), crossing this at traffic lights after a couple of minutes. Keep going – Addison Way curves away from you on the right (don’t take it) and a minute or so beyond, past the bus stop,is a small path on your right, indicated with a ‘Capital Ring’ symbol. This takes you into Northway Gardens.

To the west, woodland and shrubs; in the middle, formal gardens and tennis courts; to the east, ornamental trees.
