Winslow is a market town and civil parish designated as a town council in the Aylesbury Vale district of north Buckinghamshire. It has a population of just over 4,400. Winslow was first recorded in a royal charter of 792–93 in which it was granted by Offa of Mercia to St Albans Abbey as Wineshauue, which means Wine's Burial Mound The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as Weneslai. A late Celtic copper torc has been found here, and also a silver drinking-cup of late Roman design.

One of the finer buildings in Buckinghamshire is situated in this small town. Winslow Hall, which sits on the main road leading into the town from Aylesbury. It was built possibly from the designs of Sir Christopher Wren by William Lowndes, secretary to the Treasury. His name and the date 1700 are to be seen on the frieze over the door. The Anglican parish church in High Street, dating from about 1320 is dedicated to St. Laurence (St Laurence's Church, Winslow), and is twinned with St Paul's Church in Winslow, Arizona. Keach's Baptist Chapel, dating from 1695 in its present form, is probably the oldest surviving nonconformist chapel in Buckinghamshire.

The Whaddon Chase fox hunt has traditionally met in the Town Square at Winslow every Boxing Day for many years. The occasion is very well attended with over a thousand people visiting the town on Boxing Day each year. The Silver Band from the nearby village of Great Horwood playing Christmas carols have often been in attendance. Other annual events in the town include a beer festival in March, and the Winslow Show, a gymkhana and agricultural show which is held every August on Sheep Street, across the road from Winslow Hall.

Winslow Hall Opera, formerly known as Stowe Opera was reformed after a gap of six years and since 2012 is performed in the grounds of Winslow Hall.

The London Underground is a public rapid transit system in the United Kingdom that serves a large part of Greater London and the home counties of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It has many former stations, while others were planned but not opened. Some stations were closed because of low passenger usage rendering them uneconomical; some became redundant after lines were re-routed or replacements were constructed; and others are no longer served by the Underground but remain open to National Rail mainline services. Many stations were planned as parts of new lines or extensions to existing ones but were later abandoned.

Some closed station buildings are still standing, converted for other uses or abandoned, while others have been demolished and their sites redeveloped. A number of stations, while still open, have closed platforms or sections, such as the Jubilee line platforms at Charing Cross. The interiors and platforms of a few closed stations are among parts of the London Underground available for filming purposes, such as those at Aldwych.

Closed when the current station was opened a short distance to the east to enable the Aldgate junction to be rebuilt Terminus of Piccadilly line branch line from Holborn; closed due to low passenger numbers and cost of replacing lifts The service was cut back to Amersham when electric locomotive-hauled trains were replaced with A60 Stock trains. Closed when Central line platforms were opened at Holborn Closed due to low passenger numbers and creation of a new entrance to Knightsbridge station Former peak hours only service withdrawn to save money following cancellation of Greater London Council's Fares Fair policy Former peak hours only service withdrawn to save money following cancellation of Greater London Council's Fares Fair policy The Windsor service was cut back to Ealing Broadway due to low passenger numbers.
