Thame is a historic market town in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, its name taken from the nearby River Thame. The town retains a long market square lined with a mix of medieval and Georgian buildings and old coaching‑house fronts, reflecting its origins as a local trading and agricultural centre on the edge of the Chiltern Hills.
Today Thame combines a strong local community with a commuter role for Oxford and London, helped by road links and the nearby Haddenham & Thame Parkway station. Independent shops, eateries, a small museum and regular events such as the agricultural Thame Show give it a lively high street feel, while light industry and local services underpin the town’s economy.
