Denham is a village in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located just north west of Uxbridge, at junction 1 of the M40.
The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'homestead in a valley'. It was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Deneham. The parish church is dedicated to St Mary.
Modern day Denham is a haven for the rich, and is one of the most expensive places in the United Kingdom in which to purchase a house. One of its more famous residents is Cilla Black.
Although Denham is within both the traditional and administrative county boundary of Buckinghamshire, it is within the boundaries of the postal county of Middlesex. Thus traditionally mail to Denham will state "Denham, Middlesex".
