Here is the first of an occasional series I am bringing you. I will periodically catch a tube to the end of the line to see what is there.This end-of-the-line trip at the northern end of the metropolitan line (the oldest tube) takes you to the quaint town of Amersham.
The tube stops in the new town. Catch a taxi to the old town (approx £5).
A perfectly preserved 17th-18th century English village with origins going back to pre-Saxon times. Explore the old church and market building. Have a leisurely lunch at one of the many restaurants or one of the quaint old pubs.
Wander down the main street to take in the old cottages, the many antique stores, the museum and park.
Excellent idea! Waiting for the next end of line.
ReplyDeleteWow. What a lovely little street.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea. I might be doing that when I will be in London in March.
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me we have a tuble line right out there! It's a lovely town :)
ReplyDeleteThis I do...
Brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great way to spend a day.
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant idea! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOr actually you can walk it or take your bike on the Met. line (non rush hour) and cycle, it's very pretty countryside around there with lovely walks.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent idea! Should make for some 30 posts? :-)
ReplyDeleteI can only agree with the other commentators: Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to explore.
ReplyDeletePictures like this really make me miss London and the rest of England. You've made me feel incredibly nostalgic, but in a very good way.
Thank you for all the amazing pictures and the dedication you've put into this project!
This kind of looks like a couple of New England towns I have driven through! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice idea, i follow you in the tube !
ReplyDeleteI also did some thing like this in 1963, I took the tube to Ongar, I used a Red Rover ticket.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - but I like the notion of taking a bike too.
ReplyDeleteFascinating!
ReplyDeleteLovely idea! This sort of tube trivia really interests me!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I'll look forward to more.
ReplyDelete24 to go? You are doing such a great job, Mo. I love to look every day.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice idea and worth to encourage to your mission.
ReplyDeleteYes please. I would like to be there. ;)
ReplyDeletegorgeous!

I love this idea. I've often read the tube map and wondered about the end of line stops. This will be great fun for me. thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, I'd love to do something like that here in Madrid, but I don't think the metro goes so far out of the city.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wouldn't find any nice little English villages lol.

Amazing just how far out of London the "underground" reaches. Great idea for your blog to explore the distant fringes.
