By rail from London

The portion of the Metropolitan line from Chalfont and Latimer to Chesham is the longest stretch between two stations on the London Underground network, and probably the most picturesque! Chesham station itself is one of the most attractive on the London Underground. It retains its original signal box, and the gardens are tended by the local Chesham in Bloom volunteers.
