Wavendon is a small village and civil parish on the south‑eastern edge of Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, England. It sits close to the neighbouring village of Woburn Sands and benefits from good road links via the M1 and A421, which make it convenient for commuters while still retaining a distinctly village feel.
Originally a medieval settlement with a historic church and a scattering of listed farmhouses, Wavendon has seen modest residential expansion in recent years (notably around developments such as Wavendon Gate) and combines a long‑standing rural community with residents who work in Milton Keynes or commute to London. It also punches above its weight culturally: the well‑known music venue The Stables, founded in the 1970s, draws national and international artists and gives the village a lively arts profile.
