Fancy a day up in town...? The Metropolitan Line to Chesham is the most northern and westerly station in the London Underground network - a distance of 25 miles from Baker Street. The spur from Chalfont and Latimer is also the longest distance - almost four miles - between any two stations. This line was immortalised in John Betjeman’s 1973 TV classic: Metroland. His term for the surrounding area of northwest Middlesex leading into south Bucks symbolised postwar optimism - living in a dream - semi with views of tamed countryside. In the 1920s and 30s, people were encouraged to ‘build a little home’ - and commute by (open) tube to their jobs in the capital. ‘A city clerk turned countryman again.’ The poet draws on his Middlesex boyhood to reminisce on the modernising potential of the spread of suburbia: ‘Steam took us onwards, through the ripening fields, Ripe for development. Where the landscape yields Clay for warm brick, timber for post and rail.’ Let’s not forget that the grand plan even back in 1890 was for a link from the North and Midlands to London and a Channel
Tunnel through to Paris. One half of this ambitious scheme has been realised: yet, as the line never reached beyond Amersham, we can still enjoy the rural delights of beechy Bucks. |
