Beaconsfield (/ˈbɛkənzfiːld/ ⓘ BEK-ənz-feeld) is a market town and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England, 23+1⁄2 miles (38 kilometres) northwest of central London and 16 miles (26 kilometres) southeast of Aylesbury. Three other towns are within five miles (eight kilometres): Gerrards Cross, Amersham and High Wycombe.
The town is adjacent to the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has Georgian, neo-Georgian and Tudor revival high street architecture, known as the Old Town. It is known for the first model village in the world and the National Film and Television School.
