Transport
Holmer Green is near the A404, a main road which connects junctions of the M4, M40 and M25.
Being only a short drive from both Amersham to the east, and High Wycombe to the south-west, the village is suitably located for commuting into London by fast mainline railway on the Chiltern line which takes about 40 minutes, or on the Metropolitan line which is slower. Consequently, some of the working population commute to London every day. The proportion of London commuters is however lower than some surrounding villages – most villagers work in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire or Hertfordshire. The village is about 25 minutes drive from London Heathrow Airport and an hour's drive from Gatwick, Luton, and Stansted airports.
Regular bus services operated by Arriva Shires & Essex connect Holmer Green to High Wycombe, Amersham, Chesham, Berkhamsted, and Hemel Hempstead; Carousel Buses also serve the village.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
