Marlow is a compact riverside ward in Buckinghamshire, set on the banks of the River Thames beneath the wooded slopes of the Chiltern Hills. Its skyline is marked by the elegant early 19th‑century suspension bridge by William Tierney Clark and a mix of Georgian and Victorian streets, giving the area a distinctly historic and picturesque feel.
Locally it punches above its weight culturally and economically: a lively high street of independent shops, cafés and galleries sits alongside strong boating and rowing traditions, with regattas and river events drawing visitors each year. The ward is popular with commuters into London, has relatively high property values and an active community scene featuring amateur theatre, festivals and neighbourhood groups.
