Lord Grey Academy is also in a great location. The Academy is situated on a large site in West Bletchley on the southern side of Milton Keynes. Bletchley itself is the home of ‘Bletchley Park’, where the WW2 ‘Enigma’ code was broken – this site of historical importance and tourist attraction is just a few minutes’ walk from the Academy.
Bletchley is a lively town on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, and offers plenty of accommodation, good shopping and good rail links to London and Birmingham. Milton Keynes is centrally placed with excellent transport links, by both road and rail, to the rest of England. Milton Keynes is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe and has superb shopping, many bars and restaurants and a very good theatre. With excellent cinemas, Xscape and the Snow Dome, MK Dons FC and a range of other leisure options, there is plenty to do in Bletchley and Milton Keynes. For those who prefer the countryside, there are many beautiful Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire villages on the periphery of Bletchley.
