Old Amersham on the Metropolitan line is a small town set in rolling Buckinghamshire countryside. Its High Street and Broadway are full of 17th and 18th century houses, with even older ones hidden behind later facades or tucked away in little side streets. Several of the inns have archways large enough for stagecoaches to pass through - a reminder of Amersham's past importance as a coaching town. (If any of the inns seems vaguely familiar, it might be because some scenes in Four Weddings and a Funeral were shot here.) Yes - you really can reach all this from central London via the Tube!
