English term or phrase: Chipping Norton Set
Its predecessor, published in 2003, sold more than 100,000 copies and provoked outrage, including from former Conservative leader Michael Howard, whose constituency of Hythe in Kent was included at number four.

The full 2003 list also controversially included Chipping Norton, the rural Oxfordshire town associated with members of ‘the Chipping Norton Set’ such as David Cameron, Jeremy Clarkson and Rebekah Brooks.

The second book is ‘back by unpopular demand’, according to the publishers, and is scheduled for release in October.
Not satisfied with declaring which is the ugliest town, the website now has a poll of the dullest towns in the UK.
There include Banbury, Boston, Bury St Edmunds, Burnham Market, Camberley, Chipping Norton,
Fort William, Hatfield, Leamington Spa, Maidenhead, Rhyl and Thetford.

I'd heard of the town, but don't know the expression, not being British

When I see expressions like this, it's usually referring to wealthy people who have second homes there or who frequent/vacation at such a place
