And now for a bit of History on Temple Fortune

The first map to include Temple Fortune was produced in 1754, and pinpointed it as a single farmhouse next to a small green this was how it stayed until the introduction of Finchley Road in the late 1820s. By the end of the 19th century, there were around 300 people living in the area however it was the introduction of the tramline between Church End Finchley and Golders Green which saw a considerable increase in house building within the are.

Situated on Hoop Lane, Golders Green Crematorium and Mausoleum was one of the first site of its kind in the UK dating back to the 1900s and has held funerals for well-known people including, Bram Stoker, Keith Moon and Sigmund Freud.
