Hotels in Hendon, Golders Green & Finchley, London

Hendon, Golders Green, Finchley and Cricklewood together form the northern part of the Borough of Barnet — suburban north-west London, inside the M25 but outside the centre. The area is residential first, commercial second: low-rise houses, parks and high streets, with the exception of Brent Cross Shopping Centre on the A41 and the Royal Air Force Museum Hendon on the old Hendon Aerodrome site.

This is a practical base for stays when rates matter more than central location. Rooms here run £70–£130 for three-star mid-range properties — roughly half of what the same standard costs in Zone 1. Access is straightforward: the Northern line runs from Hendon Central and Golders Green direct to Leicester Square in 20 minutes; the M1 reaches the area three minutes north for onward driving. Heathrow is 25–40 minutes by car depending on traffic.

Chain hotels dominate — Holiday Inn, Days Hotel, Crown Moran and Hendon Hall Hotel — with a few smaller independent stays. The area works well for visitors combining London with events at Brent Cross, Wembley Stadium (10 minutes west), or family visits to north-west London. Below are 7 hotels.
