Literal. This leads to two playing fields Ludgrove Playing Field and Hadley Field, where Southgate County Football Club (set up in 1910) and Cockfosters Football Club (established in 1921) are based. The latter is also home to Cockfosters Cricket Club and Cockfosters Bowling Club. The road was originally part of an ancient bridleway that ran from Cockfosters to Monken Hadley. Gates halfway down Games Road mark the transition from public road to land that is part of the Common and Games Road continues westwards onto the common as a single track tarmacked way, the border of the Common being marked by white posts. The gates are grade II listed by Historic England.
