fashionistas and
shoe lovers watch out! And after the shopping has led to
exhaustion, relax and revive in one of the many eateries and
watering holes- not simply a sandwich but noodles and sushi
too! The new complex has a library, a tenpin bowling alley and a
12 screen cinema.
High Wycombe also has other shopping opportunities both along
the High Street, which is the venue for the market and occasional
street entertainers, and the Chilterns Shopping Centre. There is
also a popular John Lewis situated just off the M40, Junction 4.
