A compact market town of around 23,000, Chesham sits in the Chess Valley of Buckinghamshire, its weekly market tracing back to a royal charter Henry III granted in 1257. Once famed for boots, beer, brushes and Baptists, the town runs today on light industry, technology, and professional services.
Chesham station carries commuters into central London via the Metropolitan line, with journeys to Baker Street taking around an hour. Chesham itself is the most school-competitive corner of the Chess Valley, with Chartridge drawing families who target primary places beyond the town's edge. Fullers Hill offers a quieter residential setting.
