Stephens House and GardensStephens House & Gardens is one of Finchley’s real treasures — a Grade II listed historic house surrounded by 10 acres of beautiful gardens, managed by the Avenue House Estate Trust for the benefit of the community. Volunteers are hugely important in helping the Trust care for the estate and keep this wonderful green space available for everyone. GoodGym Barnet regularly lends a hand alongside volunteers including Helen, Alison and Warwick.
We’ll meet at The Phoenix Cinema for a short run to Stephens House & Gardens, or you can meet us directly at the venue:
Stephens House & Gardens 17 East End Road Finchley London N3 3QE
Meet outside the front of the house on East End Road, opposite the zebra crossing.
We often get involved in a variety of practical tasks around the house and gardens, depending on what needs doing that week — gardening, clearing, tidying and general maintenance.
Please bring gardening gloves if you have them.
If meeting us at Stephens House, please arrive in good time. Once we have gone inside, the house may be locked and it could be difficult to let late arrivals in.
Those joining us at the Phoenix will get around 3–4km of running in total, and we’ll also try to fit in a few exercises if time allows.
Walkers and runners welcome — come along, get active and help look after one of Finchley’s loveliest community spaces.

New to GoodGym?
This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.
New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.

Stephens House and GardensWalkable
You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.
Options are available to run between 5km and 6km in total
Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.
This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Phoenix Cinema, and Phoenix Cinema and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
