Gerrards Cross is a prosperous commuter town in Buckinghamshire, around 20 miles from London, perched on the edge of the Chiltern Hills. It benefits from easy road links to the M25 and M40 and is close to beech woodland such as Burnham Beeches, so you get a mix of attractive period housing, a compact high street and lots of nearby green space.
Named after the Gerrard family and a historic cross, the town grew markedly with the arrival of the railway and its station now offers fast services into London Marylebone, making it popular with commuters. The local economy and social scene reflect that affluence: high property values, good schools, independent shops and a strong community feel while still being within easy reach of the capital.
