The first of our October #GreatPlaceToLive cities is Oxford.
Founded in 1096, the University of Oxford is well-known for being not only the oldest university in the UK, but also one of the most prestigious institutions in the world. The university buildings are well worth a visit, as many are opened up to the public in holiday time.
Like most cities, Oxford enjoys fantastic restaurants and a wide range of shops, from large chains to small independents. It’s a city which combines bustle with elegance thanks to its stunning architecture and academic feel and nowadays is also a hub for innovation and technology with a thriving biotechnology sector.
A safe family-friendly city, Oxford has a range of excellent schools for children of all ages, and the beautiful rolling Oxfordshire countryside is ideal for those who enjoy country pursuits.Oxford's two rivers, the River Thames and River Cherwell, along with the Oxford Canal, offer water activities such as punting, canoeing, barging, or simply a walk along the water’s edge. If culture is your thing, Oxford is home to many museums, art galleries, theatres and music venues. The Ashmolean and Natural History Museums are well worth a visit, as is the Bodliean Library.
Like all cities, Oxford is made up of several suburbs, most with their own distinct character and vibe. The most sought-after are north of the city centre and include Jericho, Central North Oxford, and Summertown. These neighbourhoods offer a mix of amenities and are ideally positioned for easy access to the city centre.
With fantastic transport connections to the rest of the UK (London is less than an hour away by train), Oxford is a great place to settle down for those who like the bustle of a city but not the clamour of London.
