White Lion The origin of The White Lion is mysterious as little historical information is available. However, it is at least 150 years old and was possibly a pub of the old Weller’s Brewery of Amersham, but whether it was the White Lion Road or the pub that was named first we don’t know. We serve traditional pub food with a large selection of beers ales and wines. White Lion Rd, Little Chalfont, Amersham HP7 9LJ. 01494 762195 www.classicinns.co.uk/the-white-lionamersham

Boot & Slipper The stretch of road from Amersham to nearby Chesham where the Boot and Slipper is located was once a hub for the region’s thriving local boot trade. It is thought there may have even been a cobbler, on the site of the pub at one time, hence its unusual name: the Boot and Slipper. The building itself has been associated with the drinks trade for several centuries, with records showing it in the hands of the local family-run brewery Wellers of Amersham in the 1700s. Today, despite its history and traditional look, plus its local reputation as one of the most haunted buildings in Buckinghamshire, this is very much a 21st-century pub, with a modern dining menu and a family-friendly vibe. 2 Rickmansworth Rd, Amersham HP6 5JN. 01494 727082 www.chefandbrewer.com/pubs/ buckinghamshire/boot-slipper
