Central Milton Keynes is the central business district of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England and a civil parish in its own right. The district is approximately 2.5 km long by 1 km wide and occupies some of the highest land in Milton Keynes. It contains (behind the Central Library) the site of Secklow Hundred moot hill, the meeting site of the Anglo-Saxon settlers in the area. It contains the central retail, business, law enforcement and governmental districts, Milton Keynes Central railway station and around 2000 residential dwellings. This area is known locally as "the city centre".〔(Plans revealed for new £30m multi-storey car park in central Milton Keynes ) Milton Keynes Citizen〕〔Milton Keynes does not have City status in the United Kingdom and remains formally a town. However it was planned to be a city in scale and the term 'town' is reserved locally for its constituent and adjacent towns Bletchley, Stony Stratford, Wolverton, Newport Pagnell and Woburn Sands.〕 (Campbell Park, stretching from Marlborough Street down to the Grand Union Canal, is sometimes included in mental maps of the centre, though in fact it is part of a separate civil parish).
