Gerrards Cross
Consistently named within the past few years as one of the most sought after commuter towns in the UK it is easy to see why Gerrards Cross holds such an appeal.
Over the years the relative affluence of its citizens, enjoying as they do a relatively close proximity to the centre of London, means the town has punched above its weight economically and socially.
It can now be considered one of the most charming and popular towns on the edge of the M25, giving it both a town and country feel depending on which way one travels. It is little wonder, therefore, that it proves so popular with those searching for a property which offers them the best of both worlds.
