The Real MK
Britain's Most
Surprising City
Milton Keynes contains over 20 ancient villages, some dating back to the Domesday Book. A Buddhist peace pagoda built by Japanese monks. The place where the Enigma code was cracked and modern computing was invented.
22 million trees. More bridges than Venice. A road aligned perfectly with the summer solstice. A city where delivery robots are legally classified as pedestrians.
