About Oxford
Oxford, England is a city of breathtaking beauty and almost incomprehensible intellectual distinction situated on the River Thames — known locally as the Isis — in Oxfordshire in south-central England, approximately 90 kilometres northwest of London and 100 kilometres southeast of Birmingham, and is home to the University of Oxford — the oldest university in the English-speaking world, founded in the late eleventh century and continuously operating for over 900 years in a tradition of scholarship, debate, and intellectual formation that has shaped the course of Western civilization, produced 28 British Prime Ministers, 30 international leaders, and 72 Nobel laureates, and created in the process a physical environment of such concentrated architectural magnificence that the city itself is one of the great works of human civilization.
Oxford's built environment is a sustained masterpiece of English Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical architecture accumulated across nine centuries of collegiate building — the Bodleian Library, one of the oldest and most magnificent research libraries in the world, whose Radcliffe Camera rotunda is one of the most photographed buildings in England; the Sheldonian Theatre designed by Christopher Wren; the Bridge of Sighs spanning New College Lane; the medieval splendour of Merton, Magdalen, and Christ Church colleges whose quadrangles, chapels, and gardens represent the physical ideal of the English university; and the Ashmolean Museum, the oldest public museum in the world, founded in 1683 and housing an outstanding collection of art and archaeology that ranges from Raphael drawings to Anglo-Saxon jewellery. To walk through the centre of Oxford is to move through one of the densest concentrations of architectural and intellectual heritage in the world.
Oxford's literary and cultural legacy is of extraordinary richness — C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were colleagues and friends at Oxford, meeting regularly at the Eagle and Child pub on St. Giles' Street as members of the Inklings literary group whose discussions gave birth to The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings; Lewis Carroll wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church; Philip Pullman set His Dark Materials in an alternate Oxford; and the city's bookshops, libraries, and college gardens have nurtured a literary culture of extraordinary productivity across the centuries. The Oxford Union, the world's most famous debating society, has hosted Churchill, Einstein, Mother Teresa, and Malcolm X in a tradition of intellectual encounter that reflects the city's unique position at the intersection of ideas and power.
Top attractions include the magnificent Christ Church college and its cathedral — the only building in England that serves simultaneously as a college chapel and a cathedral — the Bodleian Library and Radcliffe Camera, the outstanding Ashmolean Museum, the beautiful Botanic Garden founded in 1621 and the oldest in Britain, the Pitt Rivers Museum with its extraordinary anthropological collection, the charming covered Oxford Market, and the punting on the Cherwell and Isis rivers that is one of the most quintessentially Oxford and deeply pleasurable warm-weather experiences in England.
With its nine centuries of unbroken scholarship, incomparable Gothic and Baroque architecture, extraordinary literary heritage, world's oldest public museum, and a beauty and intellectual atmosphere that are simply without parallel in the English-speaking world, Oxford is an Oxfordshire city of transcendent distinction and enduring civilizational significance.
Its airport code is OXF (London Oxford Airport).
