From the Wikipedia article

East Finchley is a London Underground station in East Finchley in the London Borough of Barnet. It is on the High Barnet branch of the Northern line, between Finchley Central and Highgate stations. It is in London fare zone 3. The station was opened on 22 August 1867, on the Great Northern Railway's line between Finsbury Park and Edgware stations. As part of London Underground's only partially completed Northern Heights plan, the station was completely rebuilt with additional tracks in the late 1930s. Northern line trains started serving the station on 3 July 1939 and main line passenger services ended on 2 March 1941.

Background

Description

The new station was constructed in an Art Deco/Streamline Moderne design by Charles Holden with L H Bucknell. A strong feature of the station is the semi-circular glazed stairways leading to the enclosed bridge over the tracks occupied by staff offices. Prominent from the platforms and dominating the main entrance façade is The Archer, a 10 ft statue by Eric Aumonier of a kneeling archer captured as if having just released an arrow. The archer is intended to commemorate Finchley's ancient association with hunting in the nearby Royal Forest of Enfield. The station is a Grade II listed building.
