Beaconsfield is on that line and is quite nice. Not a lot going on there but it is pretty.

I'm from Aylesbury but moved to London 10 years ago. There isn't much to do there infact the best restaurant is Pizza Express :-(
There are some nice villages on the same Chiltern line before you get to Aylesbury.

this.
i had to do a (bicycle mechanics/cytech thing) course there a few years back which was taught there. on the thursday myself and few mates went out to get pissed and found a pub with a drum and bass night on- this involved a bloke playing records with all his mates standing round looking moody and occasionally shouting unintelligibly at a mic and a couple of girls dancing. being pissed we joined in and started dancing
very shortly after that we were taken aside by a guy there who says "you seem alright but you ought to know this is a fight town- people round here don't like to see people enjoy themselves" 
there's the smell of violence all over the town, i fucking hate the place.

Big bump, but anyone got any recent thoughts?
I'm not yet officially at risk of redundancy, but it's certainly possible in the new financial year, and not worth hanging on for.
I've seen a job doing pretty much what I do now advertised, but it's in Aylesbury. It's just commutable from Berkshire for now, but I'd want to move a lot nearer before too long. Would look to live in the town, I don't do small rural expensive villages...
Any thoughts? I've been there a few times for one thing or another, but not recently, and not long enough for it to make much of an impression on me.
I'm not entirely keen - would prefer to be back a lot closer to SE London, but there's little details like needing a job...

Christ, no. I lived there from 1979 until 1990 and I still bear the scars. I have been back regularly to visit a friend who has stayed there out of lethargy and self-mortification, if anything the place has got worse.
I can tell you a bit about which areas are relatively less horrible than the others, but honestly, don’t do it.

Where’s the job? Any commute that takes you through town or via the inner ring road will be hell. Tell me the location (top level postcode is fine) and I’ll recommend a village that isn’t a twee and dull dormitory, but also which isn’t the Squid Game-meets-TOWIE hellscape of Aylesbury itself.

town centre-ish
That makes it decidedly trickier. Are they offering massive life insurance? Scabies prophylaxis? Somalian bodyguards?

We used to have fibreglass ducks in the windswept 1960s shopping precinct, but the council couldn’t protect them from vandals indefinitely. Long gone.
The turkey, whose wingspan offered concealment from CCTV, was particularly popular with aficionados of sniffable glue and tippex thinner.
