High Wycombe is the largest town in Buckinghamshire. It is world famous for the manufacture of the Windsor chair and as a centre for the furniture industry. The typically Georgian high street is wide, at the western end stands Little Market House, known locally as the Pepperpot. Opposite is the guildhall, the scene of a unique weighing-in ceremony for mayors and Charter Trustees, dating from medieval times. Its purpose is to see if public figures have grown fat at the ratepayers’ expense. Further down the High Street, above a portico,is a figure of a red lion. once an inn sign. Disraeli and later Churchill stood at this portico to deliver speeches.

The town has two modern shopping centres.
