Named in honour of Leo Baeck, the inspirational twentieth century German Reform rabbi, Leo Baeck College was founded in 1956 as a rabbinical school for training Liberal and Reform rabbis. Today, the college is a centre for the training of rabbis and teachers, an educational consultancy, helps the development of community leaders, provides access to Jewish learning for all through interfaith work. It is a degree awarding institution, specialising in Hebrew and other Jewish related subjects. It is based at the Sternberg Centre, East End Road, in North London.
Charles Holden designed replacement buildings for the station, but the curtailment of the Northern Heights Plan caused by the Second World War, means that this was not implemented and the station still retains much of its original Victorian architectural character today.[5] As one of two EH&LR stations retaining its original buildings, (with Mill Hill East), it is one of the oldest parts of the Underground system, pre-dating the first tunnelled section of the Northern Line (the City & South London Railway) by more than twenty years.[6]
Named in honour of Leo Baeck, the inspirational twentieth century German Liberal rabbi, the college was founded in 1956 as a rabbinical school for training Liberal and Reform rabbis. Rabbinical ordinations from Leo Baeck are recognised worldwide by Reform, Masorti and Liberal congregations.
The station has a large adjacent area, originally for storing coal and now used as a car park. Until about 2000, there was a second car park. A block of flats has now been built on this area. (The flats are clearly visible in the linked picture of platforms).
No bus route serves the station directly, but London Buses route 326 goes very near (1 minute's walk). This has encouraged use of the station, which was formerly under-used. Bus routes 82, 125, 221 and 460 stop about 10 minutes' walk from West Finchley Station.
