Local area information
Beaconsfield is, in fact, not one but two towns, each with its own special charms.
The historic Old Town - quintessentially English; traditional inns and teahouses, bijou boutiques and an eclectic array of restaurants offer diverse temptations, while the Tuesday market has been a regular feature for many years.
The New Town - a mere century old, is a bustling town centre with many quality brands, complemented by cosmopolitan cafés and bars.
While the New Town plays host to three busy supermarkets – Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Marks & Spencer Simply Food – you will also find a vast array of more specialist stores to whet your appetite. For those who like to know exactly where their produce is coming from, the monthly farmers market is also a very popular addition to the Beaconsfield retail scene.
You will recognise several other household names too – Boots, Zizzi's, Space NK, to name but a few – and six of the major banks also have branches in the town. But what makes Beaconsfield special is its range of independent emporia selling everything from toys and sports equipment to musical instruments, antiques, arts and crafts to fashion and millinery, with quality to reflect the tastes of their monied clientele.
