Swan Lane Open Space was laid out for recreation by 1935 near the former site of a C19th estate. The area was used for gravel working, as a result of which in the 1960s or possibly earlier it was known locally as 'The Pits'. A small kidney-shaped pond, fed by a natural spring, was created in the park for model boating, with water lilies, rushes and jetty, now used for wildlife. The park is on hilly terrain with open grass and woodland that includes saplings as well as mature trees, both coniferous and deciduous. A group of giant redwoods and a Cedar of Lebanon are within a wooded area planted with conifers at the entrance on High Road Whetstone. Rose beds by the café have been planted in memory of two local residents, Vi and George Terry of Finchley; a memorial bench commemorates Tony Clark. Some parts of the park have now been left wild to form a natural area of long grass and smaller trees.

Lawrence Campe Almshouses were built in c.1612 to provide for 12 poor people, each of whom was given a monthly allowance of one shilling. The founder, Lawrence Campe, was a draper's merchant in the City of London. The almshouses consist of a row of seven two-storey red brick cottages set back from the road, fronted by lawn with country-garden style flowers against the houses and a simple white paling fence separating them from the road.

All Saints' Church was founded in 1881 by John Miles of The Manor, Friern Barnet, whose son Henry was the first Vicar and was involved in creating the elaborate interior decoration of the church. The church is surrounded by a neat garden, with grass, flower and shrub beds, paved areas and seats, including a memorial garden made for Olive Mary Miles (d.1959). A War Memorial stands at the junction of two roads adjacent to the church.
