Amersham on the Hill is quite different from Amersham Old Town, with its coaching and market origins, about 1km away in the Misbourne valley. This is "Metroland", the extension of London suburban style development out into Bucks and Herts following the Metropolitan Railway which reached Amersham in 1892.
