About Oxford
Oxford is one of the most expensive cities in the UK relative to local salaries. The university and hospitals are the largest employers, but there is also a growing science and tech sector at Oxford Science Park and Harwell. Property supply is constrained by Green Belt, keeping prices high. Despite this, demand remains strong due to the quality of life and employment.
Lifestyle & Things to Do
Oxford is the City of Dreaming Spires — world-famous colleges, Bodleian Library, covered market, and punting on the Thames and Cherwell. Beyond the university, Oxford has a thriving pub culture, excellent restaurants, and regular farmers' markets. Port Meadow provides 300 acres of common land right in the city. The Cowley Road is the diverse, independent heart of East Oxford.
Transport & Commuting
Oxford Station connects to London Paddington in an hour. The Oxford Tube and X90 coaches run 24/7 to London. The M40 and A34 provide road links. Oxford is extremely cycle-friendly — more people cycle to work here than anywhere else in the UK.
