Little London is a hamlet consisting of approximately 70 houses located immediately east of the village of Oakley in Buckinghamshire and about 5.5 miles (9 km) northwest of the market town of Thame in neighbouring Oxfordshire.

Little London Green is the largest area of common land in the parish of Oakley.

Some locals[vague] thought it was founded during the Black Death in the 14th century by Londoners fleeing the capital.

[citation needed] The fact that the hamlet is one field distant from the rest of Oakley may support this theory.

They were temporary homes for long distance drovers, driving their cattle to the great fairs and markets of London and other centres in England.
