Pretty town on the end of Underground route has best of both worlds
The town offers a bit of everything to those who still want to live within easy reach of the capital Buckinghamshire is a popular choice for commuters, with many of its towns serving as homes to those who travel into London for work. The rise of remote working led to a significant migration away from the capital. Despite its name, the London Underground extends well beyond the city limits, serving numerous towns outside London. One such Tube stop brings both tourists and commuters to the charming town of Amersham. It's no surprise that the town, popular with both groups, is frequently recognised as one of the best places to live in the country. A brief tour around the town makes it easy to understand why. But a deeper exploration reveals even more reasons. Nestled in the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire, Amersham is divided into the Old Town and Amersham-on-the-Hill. The Old Town boasts buildings that are 700 years old and, unsurprisingly, a rich history. Expect to see quaint cottages and cobbled streets. It resembles a typical English village, complete with a 13th-century church and an abundance of pubs. Old Amersham also offers boutiques, spas, historical sites and beautiful areas for walks and exploration. Meanwhile, Amersham-on-the-Hill is known for its modernity, featuring a lively high street and the Tube station. While it may not be as picturesque, residents still enjoy tree-lined streets. Property guru Phil Spencer of Move IQ dubbed Amersham one of the top commuter towns for London. However, this charming town doesn't come cheap. The average property in Amersham will set you back £750,000 - making some parts of London seem like a bargain. But the ease of travel from London to Amersham makes it an ideal commuter spot for those Londoners seeking respite from the capital's hustle and bustle. Amersham Underground station falls under Zone 9 on the network. There are 18 stops between Amersham and King's Cross, with the Metropolitan Line terminating at Aldgate. A 55-minute journey on the Metropolitan line will whisk you from Amersham to King's Cross. The service operates twice an hour, with the first train from Amersham to London departing at 5.30am and the last return leaving around midnight. And if you've had your fill of the Tube, you can opt to catch a train to Marylebone which takes a mere 32 minutes. For those driving to Amersham, the M40 will get you there in just an hour.

Ruben Amorim lifts lid on 'no bull****' Sir Jim Ratcliffe relationship at Man Utd
Ruben Amorim was the first Manchester United boss to be appointed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe following his arrival at Old Trafford and the Portuguese coach has now revealed how often they talk Ruben Amorim has opened up on his 'no bull****' relationship with Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Amorim revealed he talks and messages Ratcliffe on a regular basis and the pair get on because they share the same straight-talking approach. 'We speak on the phone, he sends me messages, he sends me GIFs,' said Amorim. 'You call it GIFs? Like joking. So we have this kind of relationship. 'I think it's really easy to deal with Jim. Easy in the sense that if you know your stuff, if you know how to explain any decision, you'll be fine with him. 'If you try to use some bull**** in big words with him, he's going to knock you. So for me it's really easy. I will say whatever I need to say with, of course, a lot of respect, like with everybody. 'I know that he's the owner of the club, I know my place. But when I need to say something, I will say it naturally, with no bull****. I can say that - with no bull****. I'm not around the subject, I'm really direct and I think it's something that he likes a lot.' Amorim's claim about Ratcliffe comes amid a lofty claim by the Portuguese coach. He has suggested that with the backing of the INEOS supremo, as well as other Red Devils chiefs, he can restore the club at the top of the English game. He said: 'I have no doubts, because there are some things that you cannot buy and that this club has. The pedigree, the history, the fans. We have that. 'I think that is clear. Then the money. We have money. We have money without the Champions League. So we have money and we'll have more money in the future. We're doing everything. 'You talk with Omar [Berrada, chief executive] and all these guys, they are making all the strategy to have more money in the future. So that will not be a problem. 'Then I think it's clearly the culture. If we have a different culture, with all of that, with all of the pedigree, the money, all of these things, we can return to our place - that is clear.' Amorim will continue his preparations for the new season this weekend as United take on Everton in the USA. They then face a final pre-season game against Fiorentina ahead of their season opener against Arsenal.
