The station is on the Edgeware Road branch of the Northern Line and in Travelcard zone 3 close to Golders Green and the affluent area of Finchley. The most famous local attraction is Brent Cross Shopping Centre, which was one of the first purpose built shopping centres in England and remains one of its most popular. It is actually quite a long way from the station to the centre, but there are clearly market footpaths.
