Or... by another name, the Barnet By-Pass. This road was opened in 1928 and brought a boom in growth to the area. The A1 and the A41 are merged along this section and will divide again just up the hill at Apex Corner.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Originally part of Lawrence Street (named after a large local farm), it was renamed The Broadway some time after 1910 when the shopping area began to develop. Although there had been a station on the London to Bedford railway since 1868, little growth happened in the area until the GNR opened a station at The Hale in 1906 which gave access to the Underground network at Finsbury Park. The opening of the Barnet By-Pass in 1928 triggered the growth into a fully-fledged London suburb.
