OK (if you’re not English) can you guess which one of these is not the name of a city or town within a short drive from Oxford?

While you are thinking, here are some village names that we saw on road signs while driving past acres of springtime from Oxford to Cambridge:

  • Chorleywood
  • South Mimms
  • Wormleybury
  • Cherry Hinton

Ready with an answer on Slough, Staines, or Maidenhead? All three are real English placenames.
