Wavendon is a small village in the county of Buckinghamshire on the south east boundary of Milton Keynes next door to the estate of Wavendon Gate and the road to Woburn Sands. It is probably most well known for The Stables, an internationally renowned entertainment venue and education centre, which was founded by Wavendon residents Dame Cleo Laine and John Dankworth.

Wavendon, like other small villages, has seen a number of changes since Milton Keynes has grown up beside it. The residential and commercial development of large parts of the surrounding countryside has had a significant impact on this small village. The Stables has also recently undergone a major face lift.
