Tally Ho! A Place to Meet | Finchley Society

Tally Ho!

Tally Ho Corner is a busy intersection in Finchley and the home of artsdepot. But what has this corner of North London meant to local people in other historical periods? And where did it get its quirky name?

Tally Ho! A Place to Meet was a local heritage project that ran from June-November 2014, in celebration of artsdepot’s tenth birthday.The project was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. You can find out more about Tally Ho at the project website.

The Finchley Society was formed in 1971 to protect, preserve and improve buildings, transport, roads and open spaces in Finchley and Friern Barnet and their environs, and to explore the history and the special features of the area. The Society is independent of Barnet Borough Council and of all political parties.

The Society is one of the most active amenity groups in the Borough. It has a record of vigorous action in defence of the local environment, through practical conservation and careful consideration of all planning issues.

We are supported by donations and subscriptions and all our work is done by volunteers. You can join the Society here.
