Gerrards Cross Area Guide

It is considered one of the most exclusive areas in the country outside of the capital, with many celebrity residents. Despite its modest size, a major national surveying company named it the most sought-after commuter town or village in their London Hot 100 report in 2014, so if central London living doesn't appeal to you, Gerrards Cross can effortlessly bridge the gap between city and rural living.

The charming Buckinghamshire town of Gerrards Cross enjoys a great position in the foothills of the Chiltern Hills.
