Gerrards Cross frequently appears in surveys of the most desirable places to live in England. Located close to the M25 and M40 motorways and with the local Chiltern line station providing frequent fast services to Marylebone, it offers excellent travel links yet retains the atmosphere of an unspoiled, thriving country village. The village’s high street and boutique style shops, cafes, bistros, banks and hotel are mainly on Packhorse Road and Station Road, which together form Gerrards Cross’ bustling heart.

The area is also renowned for its excellent state and public schools which include Dr Challoners Grammar & High Schools, St Mary’s, Gayhurst, Maltman’s Green, and Thorpe House.
