The only problem is the long trip over "the rest of the UndergrounD"
to get there.

Also, there is nothing particularly remarkable about Chesham when you
get there, except perhaps the Old Town, but that is quite a long walk
from the station.

I would second others' recommendations of the Docklands Light Railway
- surely the best tourist bargain in London - plus the North London
Line and the recently extended East London Line. For sheer numbers of
trains there are Clapham Junction and Stratford, the latter having a
far greater variety of trains than just about anywhere else in London.
