Oxford is a beautiful, cosmopolitan and well-connected city.

Oxford is full of history and charm but within easy travelling distance of major cities and airports. There are many parks and open spaces in and around the city, scattered between both ancient and modern buildings.

Oxford is also a cosmopolitan city drawing people from all over the world to live, work and study. This is reflected in the vast range of restaurants and supermarkets catering for every nationality and taste.
