About High Wycombe - show infohide info
High Wycombe, South Buckinghamshire, is 32 miles (51.5 kilometres) WNW of London. It is a hilly town situated at the southernmost foothills of the Chilterns. The town is right on the edge of the South Bucks countryside. The town has a central bus station and also a railway station on Chiltern Line between London Marylebone and Birmingham Snow Hill. The town is situated on the A40 trunk route and the M40 motorway. There is a modern town centre, revamped at the beginning of the nineties, with arcades and many brand name shops. The High Street, with a number of 18th and 19th century buildings, ends at the colonnaded Guidhall. Opposite stands the large medieval parish church of All Saints, which was founded in 1086. There is a large well-equipped theatre, the Wycombe Swan, which hosts many acts and shows prior to or following West End runs. Wycombe also houses a large Asian community from various parts of the sub-continent, and a West Indian community almost exclusively from Saint Vincent. There is a gliding club, two flying schools and a voluntary aviation museum at Wycombe Air Park, the modern name for Booker Airfield, to the south of the M40 motorway on the western edge of the town. Many of the replica aircraft used in the film industry, for example in films such as Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines and The Blue Max were built and flown there. There is a friendly restaurant (Happy Landings) with outdoor picnic tables that is open to visitors beneath the control tower. Wycombe Air Park is one of the busiest general aviation airfields in the UK. Nearby towns include Amersham, Oxford, Aylesbury, Reading, Maidenhead, Uxbridge, Slough and Watford.
