Ponders End marked thus on the Ordnance Survey map of 1822. It was recorded in 1593 as Ponders ende that is "end or quarter of the parish associated with the Ponder family" from the Middle English ende. John Ponder is mentioned in a document of 1373; the surname is believed to be a " keeper of, or dweller by, a fish-pond or mill-pond ".[2]
The platforms comprise two parallel islands with tracks on both sides. The inner pair of tracks served the 'high level' route to Highgate, whilst the outer pair served the tunnel route. Underground trains first served the station on 3 July 1939 which acted as a temporary terminus for the Northern Line whilst the electrification of the line to the north was completed.[5] Northern Line services to High Barnet began on 14 April 1940.[5] The station continued to be served by LNER steam trains from Highgate (High-level) station until 2 March 1941 when that service was discontinued.[4] The inner platforms are now generally used only by trains starting or terminating at East Finchley and those coming from or going to the depot south of the station.
Little light penetrates to the woodland floor in the most wooded places and large areas of the Wood are devoid of either shrub, field or ground layers of vegetation. Consequently parts of the Wood can present a dark and gloomy appearance in the summer months. Nevertheless, in the few glade areas caused by the collapse of an occasional canopy tree, or by more recent coppicing, the flora is of considerable interest. Pill sedge hangs on in its only known Haringey site and tiny populations of cow-wheat, slender St. John's wort, wood anemone, and heath speedwell manage to survive though they seldom flower.
