Bourne End, Buckinghamshire
Bourne End is a hamlet in the parish of Wooburn, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is situated near the border with Berkshire, where a winterbourne meets the River Thames.
The hamlet name is a common one in England, and refers to the end of the river (bourne being an Old English term for 'river'), as opposed to where the river begins, at the spring.
Today the hamlet sits half way between the M4 and M40 motorways, meaning that it is a short distance from central London, and a very popular place for commuters to live.
