Notes:
Beaconsfield (/'b?k?nzfi?ld/ (listen) BEK-?nz-feeld) is a market town and civil parish within the unitary authority of Buckinghamshire, England, 23+1/2 miles (38 kilometres) west-northwest of central London and 16 miles (26 kilometres) south-southeast of Aylesbury. Three other towns are within five miles (eight kilometres): Gerrards Cross, Amersham and High Wycombe.
The town is adjacent to the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has a wide area of Georgian, neo-Georgian and Tudor revival high street architecture, known as the Old Town. It is known for the first model village in the world and the National Film and Television School.
Beaconsfield was named 'Britain's richest town' (based on an average house price of ?684,474) by The Daily Telegraph in 2008.[2] In 2011 the post town had the highest proportion in the UK of ?1 million-plus homes for sale (at 47%, compared to 3.5% nationally).[3] In 2011, Burkes Road was named as the second most expensive road in the country outside London.[4][needs update]
