The arms were granted on July 10, 1933.
The green background and ragged chevron recall the oak woods for which Finchley was formerly famous. The horns and stags refer to the hunting-ground of the Tudor Monarchs, represented by the double rose. The mitre represent the Bishops of London, who owned land in the District.
The finch and "lys" are a heranldic pun on the name.
The lion is part of the arms of the Countess of Pembroke, a progentitor of the Comptons, who held the Manor of Finchley.
