High Wycombe, Market town in Buckinghamshire, England
High Wycombe lies in the valley of the River Wye, surrounded by the Chiltern Hills, 29 miles northwest of central London and contains multiple urban neighborhoods.
The settlement dates to Roman times with a villa built around 150-170 AD, and received its market charter in 1237, marking the beginning of commercial development.
The Wycombe Swan Theatre presents professional productions throughout the year, while the annual Asian Mela celebrates the diversity of local communities through music and food.
The town center features multiple shopping areas, including the Eden Shopping Centre with over 100 stores, connected directly to the main bus and railway stations.
Local craftsmen specialized in furniture production, particularly Windsor chairs, using beechwood from surrounding forests, establishing a renowned manufacturing tradition.
