Buckingham is a compact historic market town in Buckinghamshire, England, notable for its medieval street plan, pockets of Georgian architecture and the prominent parish church of St Peter and St Paul. The town sits beside the River Great Ouse and retains a traditional market square and an array of independent shops that give it a friendly, community-focused atmosphere.
It is home to the University of Buckingham, the UK’s first private university, which adds a small but lively student presence and contributes to the local economy. Regular markets, annual events and good road links make Buckingham attractive to commuters and visitors, with Milton Keynes and Oxford within easy reach for wider services and employment.
