Oxford is based in central southern England in the county of Oxfordshire. The city is just over fifty miles northwest of the capital and sits between the Cotswolds and Chiltern Hills, both Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The River Thames passes through the city, too, giving it that particular bond with the capital. However, the city also has close connections with other major hubs of business, such as Reading (24 miles), Swindon (26 miles), Cheltenham (36 miles) and Gloucester (29 miles). Other neighbouring towns in Oxfordshire include Abingdon, Bicester, Farringdon, Witney, and Woodstock.
Oxford's population of just over 150,000 live in a city that is also recognised for its architectural beauty. Its nickname, the ‘city of dreaming spires’ stems from the architecture of Oxford University and the numerous Oxford colleges which flood the city and fuel the occupancy of student houses and student accommodation in Oxford.
There are over 4,500 businesses in Oxford which are responsible for the provision of over 100,000 jobs across the city. In terms of quality of life, Oxford ranks amongst some of the top cities in the world for business freedom, travel connectivity, safety, healthcare and environmental quality. The city boasts a business survival rate of 44% for these reasons.
It is also the support of the Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire LEP, including business incentives in many forms of funding, which helps maintain the city’s business prowess. Furthermore, the city enjoys great transport links, aided by a nearby airport, London connections and a strong internal transportation system.
Whilst the past has seen Oxford industry cater to students and education, new modern-day companies have emerged across Oxford business centres and various Oxford business parks, enabling the area to be at the forefront of cutting-edge sectorial development. Oxford has also been recognised as one of the UK’s top creative hotspots.
Of course, science and research businesses abound in the area, but there are other major areas of business. These include car production, technology and publishing which bring an array of business travellers searching for Oxford city accommodation.

There are many other surrounding open spaces which exemplify the Oxfordshire countryside, such as: the Christ Church Meadow, the Water Meadow, The Grove and the college recreation grounds. All of these are made even better by the fact that the beautiful River Thames bypasses or intersects them.
