Thursday, September 13, 2018
Spotlight on Chesham - our estate agent’s view. Chesham is a popular market town on the edge of the Chilterns, surrounded by picturesque open countryside yet within easy reach of the M25 and M1. It’s an easy commute to London via Amersham’s mainline train service into Marylebone or Chesham’s own Metropolitan Line station into Baker Street, making Chesham a prime commuter town. Earliest records date back to the 10th century although archaeological evidence shows people in the area from around 8000 BC. Historically Chesham is best known for its four Bs – Baptists, boot making, beer and brush making - but today the town’s employment lies in small businesses, technology and professional services.
