Car Leasing Deals Milton Keynes
Milton Keynes LeasingIn the 1967, the UK Government decided that a further generation of new towns in the East of England was needed to relieve housing congestion in London and so Milton Keynes was born. It took the name of the village of Milton Keynes, in Buckinghamshire, which was originally known as Middletone in the 11th century. In 1985 Milton Keynes became home to Britain’s first multiplex cinema with 10 Screens. Bletchley Park, the site of World War II Allied code-breaking and Colossus, the world's first programmable electronic digital computer, is a major component of MK's modern history. It is now a flourishing heritage attraction. Midsummer Boulevard is so called because the sun rises at its east end on the summer solstice. This was no accident; in the trippy early 70s, architects consulted Greenwich observatory to obtain the exact angle required at their latitude in Buckinghamshire and then persuaded engineers to shift the grid of roads a few degrees. Much of the Superman IV movie was filmed in Milton Keynes to portray New York. It was cheaper than filming in New York. Milton Keynes’ Tilbrook Industry estate is home to a plethora of companies selling coffee to keyboards – but it doesn’t get much more awesome than the Red Bull Formula One team. Incredibly, according to Destination Milton Keynes, the town has more bridges than Venice – a city built on water. What’s more, the size of its lakes means it’s got a longer coastline than Jersey. It also has more show homes than anywhere else in the UK. Olympic long jumper Greg Rutherford grew up in Milton Keynes and still lives in the town's Woburn Sands area. In 2014, a giant metal statue called the "Leaping Man" was erected in his honour near junction 13 of the M1 Motorway. The legend Cliff Richard decided for his 'Wired for Sound' music video to head over here to Milton Keynes for filming. Residents may be able to remember at the time that he donned a pair of retro roller skates and whizzed around the town as well as at the shopping centre. The Fenny river lock in Milton Keynes is the smallest canal lock in the country. You can visit the area today and there is a nice pub there which can be enjoyed - when the country isn't placed in a coronavirus lockdown. |
