The ward of Amersham and Chesham Bois sits in the southern reaches of Buckinghamshire on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, combining conservation-area streets and semi-rural village greens. It embraces parts of Amersham, with its attractive Old Town and historic high street, and the smaller, wooded village of Chesham Bois, where the nearby River Chess and beech woods give a distinctly countryside feel despite being inside the London commuter belt.
Locally the economy is a mix of independent shops, professional services and commuters travelling via tube and rail from Amersham, while community life is marked by village fetes, conservation groups and well-regarded schools. The area has medieval market roots in Amersham and saw suburban growth in the 19th century; its period architecture, green spaces and higher-than-average house prices make it popular with families seeking charm and good transport links.
