Bletchley

Town in Buckinghamshire, England, 72 km/45 mi northwest of London, situated just south of Milton Keynes; population (2001) 47,200. It was originally a railway town and has developed through the expansion of Milton Keynes.

Bletchley Park was the home of Britain's World War II code-breaking activities. German codes generated by the Enigma enciphering machine were cracked here. It is now used as a training post for GCHQ (Britain's electronic surveillance centre). It is open to the public at certain times for tours, exhibitions, and lectures.
