Known for
The end of the Metropolitan Line (the furthest point from central London on the tube network), the Chess Valley, the market town heritage, and a Chilterns commuter town with real independent character
A little history
Chesham sits at the end of the Metropolitan Line — further from Baker Street than Paris. The town grew as a boot and brush manufacturing centre in the 19th century before becoming a commuter settlement. The River Chess flows through a beautiful valley that remains largely unspoiled.
The Chess Valley Walk along the river is one of the Chilterns' finest — chalk streams with watercress beds and kingfishers. The market on Wednesdays and Fridays. The town has more independent shops than most Metropolitan Line stops.
