Denbigh, Milton Keynes

Denbigh is a district in Milton Keynes, ceremonial Buckinghamshire, England, to the north of Fenny Stratford and on the eastern side of the West Coast Main Line and Bletchley proper. It is in the civil parish of Bletchley and Fenny Stratford and is generally regarded as part of Bletchley. It is in the civil parish of West Bletchley. The A5 forms its eastern and northern boundary; parts of Bletcham Way and Saxon St form its southern boundary. The overall district has five sub districts, divided by Watling St/Denbigh Rd, the 'uptick' of Bletcham Way and Grafton Street, and Saxon Street northbound. The district names are planning designations that have persisted without ever being changed to the style "North Denbigh" etc. as is the norm elsewhere in Britain.

These lands to the east of Watling Street were originally in the manor of Simpson.

This district, next to the junction of the A5 with the A421, includes the 22,000 all-seater stadium mk for Milton Keynes Dons F.C. as well as an hotel and retail outlets.

The football stadium opened in July 2007 and was ready for the start of the 2007/08 season. An indoor basketball arena for the then Milton Keynes Lions basketball team was planned as part of the stadium complex but as of mid-2014 has yet to materialise.

The major retailers are an Asda supercentre and IKEA superstore, with smaller shops in the MK1 Retail Park. The superstores were open for business by the end of 2005. Marks and Spencers, BHS, Topman, Topshop, H&M, New Look, Next and River Island opened sites in the MK1 Shopping Park. The latter was developed adjacent to Stadium:mk by InterMK and The Crown Estate. InterMK is owened by Pete Winkelman, chairman of the MK Dons.
