By train
Great Missenden is served by a good train service from London Marylebone with two trains per hour. The journey takes 40 minutes and it is a very easy walk from the station to the Museum. See Chiltern Railways website (link on the right) for an up-to-date timetable and details of engineering works which may affect the line.

Car parking
As the Museum is part of the historic High Street, there is no parking at the Museum itself, although there is a pay and display car park off the Link Road less than 5 minutes walk away. If parking in the village please park only in designated parking spaces and be aware of any time restrictions.

At weekends and in school holidays when the pay and display car park is full Chiltern Railways have very kindly given permission for our customers to park in the station car park at Great Missenden station.  Parking fees and restrictions will still apply.

The Highways Agency, which manages England’s 4,000+ miles of motorways and major trunk roads, has a website showing traffic flow and up to the minute information on any incidents – you can even check the view from CCTV cameras or read what the motorway message signs are saying.
