Back in Amersham, there's a selection of cafes and pubs, including: Seasons Café Deli, a family run cafe and deli at 6 Market Square Amersham Old Town. There is also a Mad Squirrel micropub.
A longer walk (approx 13.9 miles) is possible by switching from the route after lunch in Chalfont St. Giles, and continuing to Denham instead of returning to Amersham. There aren't any written directions for this as it is an improvised route, created to cope with rail strikes in previous years, but a map and GPS are available. Denham is one stop outside the boundary of zone 6 so, if finishing in Denham, you'll need a single from Denham to West Ruislip. From West Ruislip, your Oyster is valid. If continuing to Denham, you have refreshment opportunities at Chalfont St Peter: Greyhound Inn and in Denham itself.
Please bring the directions from the L=swc.36 page. #2026-10-17T10:30
