The Best of Milton Keynes

Discover Milton Keynes

Originally designed to accommodate people from overcrowded London, it’s now home to over a quarter of a million people.

Because Milton Keynes was designed from the ground up, it’s fully connected to the road and rail networks. It's a successful business and leisure location and the perfect destination to visit by train with Avanti West Coast.
