Why businesses choose Milton Keynes
Milton Keynes sits roughly 50 minutes from London Euston by train from Milton Keynes Central station, and directly on the M1, giving quick access to most of England. The city was planned with wide grid roads, generous parking and large business parks, so commercial space is easier to find and cheaper than central London. It also has a growing, comparatively young population and two universities within reach, the Open University (based in the city) and Cranfield nearby.
A broad local economy
Alongside the big corporate names, thousands of independent shops, trades and professional firms serve the area. You can see that breadth across the Milton Keynes Businesses directory, from professional services to home and trades. For more background, read our guide to Milton Keynes and its businesses.
