===Tube and rail===
Stations in the area are:

*{{rws|Mill Hill Broadway}} ([[Thameslink (route)]])
*[[Mill Hill East tube station|Mill Hill East]] ([[Northern line]])

There was also another smaller station, {{rws|Mill Hill (The Hale)}}, opened by the [[Edgware, Highgate and London Railway]] in 1867. Passenger services ended in 1939, and freight traffic in 1964.{{Citation needed|date=October 2012}}

The branch was opened in 1867 as part of the [[Edgware, Highgate and London Railway]], which also built [[Dollis Brook Viaduct]] east of the station. It uesd to continue west to [[Edgware tube station|Edgware]] and east to the [[Great Northern Railway (Great Britain)|Great Northern]] main line at [[Finsbury Park station]], following the present Northern line route as far as Highgate. {{Citation needed|date=October 2012}}

In 1935, as part of the London Transport [[New Works Programme]], plans were announced to modernise and electrify the railway and transfer it to the London Underground. Work was started, and steam passenger services between Edgware and Finchley Central were withdrawn in September 1939 to facilitate it. However, the Second World War soon caused the project to be cut short. The Finchley Central – Mill Hill East section had wartime priority (due to the Inglis Barracks) and was completed in 1941,
but the plans to complete the modernisation and restart passenger services to Edgware were never resumed and were abandoned in 1950. {{Citation needed|date=October 2012}}

Steam freight trains continued to run between Finchley and Edgware until 1964; the track beyond Mill Hill East was lifted the following year. Although partly built over, including by the [[M1 motorway]], most of the old track bed has become a footpath, and decaying 1930s concrete infrastructure, never used, can still be seen. {{Citation needed|date=October 2012}}
