The district was abolished on 31 March 2020 and its area is now administered by the unitary Buckinghamshire Council.

South Bucks contained the greatest length of motorway in any Buckinghamshire district.

Denham Aerodrome in the southeast of the district had a small number of chartered flights running out of it.

In 2004 the council moved to a modern office building at Capswood, Oxford Road, Denham, within its administrative area.

Since the local government reorganisation in 2020, the building at Capswood serves as one of the area offices of Buckinghamshire Council.
