Iver

Iver is a sizable civil parish in Buckinghamshire just west of London, sitting between Slough and the edge of Heathrow and straddling the Colne Valley character of canals, commons and woodlands. The parish contains several distinct settlements such as Iver Heath and Richings Park, so it combines village centres and ribbon development with surprisingly extensive green spaces and country-park terrain for its location.

Historically rooted with a long-standing parish community and surviving manor-house footprints, the area today mixes commuter life and local industry; culturally it is best known for the film and TV economy centred on Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, while logistics, small businesses and local shops serve residents. Community halls, pubs and sports clubs keep a village feel, even as transport links like the nearby motorways and rail make the parish both convenient for London work and subject to development pressures.
