Gerrards Cross sits in the south of Buckinghamshire, tucked against the wooded slopes of the Chiltern Hills and surrounded by green belt countryside. Its railway station on the Chiltern line gives fast commuter links into central London, helping to make it one of the more affluent suburban towns in the area with leafy streets, conservation areas and higher-than-average house prices.
The modern town expanded rapidly with the arrival of the railway in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and today it combines a compact, well-kept high street of independent shops and cafés with good schools and active community groups. There’s a quiet, village-like social feel despite the economic ties to the capital, and local parks and nearby country walks are popular with families and commuters alike.
