Oxford is a university city in Oxfordshire, England, with a population of 155,000.
It is 56 miles (90 km) northwest of London, 64 miles (103 km) from Birmingham and 24 miles (39 km) from Reading by road.
The city is home to the University of Oxford, the oldest in the English-speaking world, and has buildings in every style of English architecture from late Anglo-Saxon. Oxford's industries include motor manufacturing, education, publishing, information technology and science.
The University of Oxford is first mentioned in 12th-century records. Of the hundreds of aularian houses that sprang up across the city, only St Edmund Hall (c. 1225) remains. What put an end to the halls was the emergence of colleges.
Oxford's earliest colleges were University College (1249), Balliol (1263) and Merton (1264). These colleges were established at a time when Europeans were starting to translate the writings of Greek philosophers. These writings challenged European ideology, inspiring scientific discoveries and advancements in the arts, as society began to see itself in a new way.
These colleges at Oxford were supported by the Church in the hope of reconciling Greek philosophy and Christian theology. The relationship between town and gown has often been uneasy – as many as 93 students and townspeople were killed in the St Scholastica Day Riot of 1355.
The sweating sickness epidemic in 1517 was particularly devastating to Oxford and Cambridge where it killed half of both cities' populations, including many students and dons.
Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford is unique in combining a college chapel and a cathedral in one foundation. Originally the Priory Church of St Frideswide, the building was extended and incorporated into the structure of the Cardinal's College shortly before its refounding as Christ Church in 1546, since when it has functioned as the cathedral of the Diocese of Oxford.
The Oxford Martyrs were tried for heresy in 1555 and subsequently burnt at the stake, on what is now Broad Street, for their religious beliefs and teachings. The three martyrs were the bishops Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley, and the archbishop Thomas Cranmer. The Martyrs' Memorial stands nearby, round the corner to the north on St. Giles.

World's first Zero Emission Zone proposed in Oxford
***** Please note: This video dates from 2017 and explains the previous iteration of the Zero Emission Zone in Oxford city centre. Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council published updated proposals for the Zero Emission Zone in January 2019, which can be viewed by visiting: oxford.gov.uk/zez. *****
Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council are proposing to introduce the world’s first Zero Emission Zone in Oxford city centre.
The proposal would see diesel and petrol vehicles banned from Oxford city centre in phases, starting with some vehicle types and a small number of streets in 2020, and - as vehicle technology develops - moving to all vehicle types across the whole city centre in 2035.
Oxford city centre currently has illegally-high levels of toxic nitrogen dioxide, which contributes to diseases including cancer, asthma, stroke and heart disease - and contributes to around 40,000 deaths in the UK every year.
The Zero Emission Zone proposals would cut the nitrogen dioxide level in Oxford city centre’s most polluted street, George Street, by 74% by 2035, bringing it well below the legal limit.
From Monday 16 October to Sunday 26 November 2017, we will be holding a public consultation on these proposals. We want to know what you think, and how these proposals will affect you or your business, so that we can make sure the Zero Emission Zone works for everyone.
For more information and to take part in the consultation, visit oxford.gov.uk/zez

From British Council Film:
For more than seven hundred years Oxford has existed as a centre of learning and culture. But it is not only a city of the past, loving and caring for its great traditions; it is also a city of the present and the future. its streets are thronged with the young men and women who one day will provide Britain's scholars, scientists, and statesmen. In the University, students from far off parts of the Empire, rich men's sons, and scholarship winners from Britain's industrial areas share alike the knowledge and culture offered by the University.
Oxford City Council Come Top In England At The National Loo Awards

The council came top in the National awards for the best overall ‘away from home toilets’ in England. Public toilets, including those in cemeteries, the town hall and car parks, were visited by loo of the year inspectors at unknown times. The awards were introduced in 1987 to encourage the highest possible standards from local authorities and is recognised nationally. Our Reporter Rosemary Macklam spoke to Oxford Direct Services about the hard work behind winning the award.

Oxford │Oxford University - Harry Potter Movie Hotspots - Christ Church College
When you enter Christ Church college, which is a part of the Oxford University, you feel the special magic in the air. The spirit of Hogwarts is crawling through your veins. But watch out: actually, Christ Church college was only used for some of the scenes in all the Harry Potter movies - e.g. the famous staircase is a part of it.
While a lot of people think that the huge dining Hall of Christ Church was used as the set for the Great Hall, it was actually only used as an idea or a model for what such a Great Hall could look like. The truth is that the Great Hall from the Harry Potter movies was then build up in the studios as a kind of replication resembling the dining hall at Christ Church college.
However, some angles of the courtyard of the New College, which is Christ Church College, were also used for the wizard and witchcraft movies around Harry Potter and his friends.
It is so brilliant strolling through the old masonry of such a historic hotspot.
If you like have a look at one of the numerous Harry Potter Movie Tours being offered in London. I haven't experienced it so far, but it is surely a highlight during your stay in the Royal city of the United Kingdom!

University of Oxford United Kingdom ranking 2 in 2016-2017 England
Oxford is just 58 minutes away from London Paddington Station and about the same by car, but on Saturdays parking is pretty difficult. The University of Oxford (informally Oxford University or simply Oxford) is a collegiate research university located in Oxford, England, United Kingdom. While having no known date of foundation, there is evidence of teaching as far back as 1096,[1] making it the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's second-oldest surviving university.[1][8] It grew rapidly from 1167 when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris.[1] After disputes between students and Oxford townsfolk in 1209, some academics fled northeast to Cambridge where they established what became the University of Cambridge.[9] The two ancient universities are frequently jointly referred to as Oxbridge.
The university is made up of a variety of institutions, including 38 constituent colleges and a full range of academic departments which are organised into four divisions.[10] All the colleges are self-governing institutions as part of the university, each controlling its own membership and with its own internal structure and activities.[11] Being a city university, it does not have a main campus; instead, all the buildings and facilities are scattered throughout the city centre. Most undergraduate teaching at Oxford is organised around weekly tutorials at the self-governing colleges and halls, supported by classes, lectures and laboratory work provided by university faculties and departments.
Oxford is the home of the Rhodes Scholarship, one of the world's oldest and most prestigious scholarships, which has brought graduate students to study at the university for more than a century.[12] The university operates the world's oldest university museum, as well as the largest university press in the world[13] and the largest academic library system in Britain.[14] Oxford has educated many notable alumni, including 28 Nobel laureates, 27 Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom, and many foreign heads of state.[15]The University of Oxford has no known foundation date.[16] Teaching at Oxford existed in some form as early as 1096, but it is unclear when a university came into being.[1] It grew quickly in 1167 when English students returned from the University of Paris.[1] The historian Gerald of Wales lectured to such scholars in 1188 and the first known foreign scholar, Emo of Friesland, arrived in 1190. The head of the university was named a chancellor from at least 1201 and the masters were recognised as a universitas or corporation in 1231. The university was granted a royal charter in 1248 during the reign of King Henry III.[17]
After disputes between students and Oxford townsfolk in 1209, some academics fled from the violence to Cambridge, later forming the University of Cambridge.[9][18]

The students associated together on the basis of geographical origins, into two nations, representing the North (Northern or Boreales, which included the English people north of the River Trent and the Scots) and the South (Southern or Australes, which included English people south of the Trent, the Irish and the Welsh).[19][20] In later centuries, geographical origins continued to influence many students' affiliations when membership of a college or hall became customary in Oxford. In addition to this, members of many religious orders, including Dominicans, Franciscans, Carmelites and Augustinians, settled in Oxford in the mid-13th century, gained influence and maintained houses or halls for students.[21] At about the same time, private benefactors established colleges to serve as self-contained scholarly communities. Among the earliest such founders were William of Durham, who in 1249 endowed University College,[21] and John Balliol, father of a future King of Scots; Balliol College bears his name.[19] Another founder, Walter de Merton, a Lord Chancellor of England and afterwards Bishop of Rochester, devised a series of regulations for college life;[22][23] Merton College thereby became the model for such establishments at Oxford,[24] as well as at the University of Cambridge. Thereafter, an increasing number of students forsook living in halls and religious houses in favour of living in colleges.[21]
In 1333–34, an attempt by some dissatisfied Oxford scholars to found a new university at Stamford, Lincolnshire was blocked by the universities of Oxford and Cambridge petitioning King Edward III.[25] Thereafter, until the 1820s, no new universities were allowed to be founded in England, even in London; thus, Oxford and Cambridge had a duopoly, which was unusual in western European countries.[26][27]

Things to do in Oxford, England: 2 minute guide to the top attractions
Visitor Vids tourist guide to Oxford, England. Make the most of your day out with our brand new, two minute guide to the top visitor attractions in Oxford.
Oxford, some 50 miles west of London, is nicknamed the ‘City of Dreaming Spires’. The town revolves around the world-renowned university. Established in the 12th century, there are more than 30 Oxford colleges. Situated in the medieval centre of Oxford – here are three of the most popular.
Christ Church - founded by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in 1524. Its former students include no less than 13 British prime ministers. With its imposing Tom Tower, (the upper part of which was designed by former student Sir Christopher Wren) and Oxford’s greatest quad, the college has also found recent fame as a location for Harry Potter films.
14th century New College was the first college in Oxford for undergraduates – with an impressive chapel and hall, it is a fine example of the Perpendicular Gothic style.
As you walk along New College Lane, look up at the steeped Bridge of Sighs linking the two halves of Hertford College to New College.
Magdalen, founded in 1458, is one of the wealthiest and most beautiful of Oxford's colleges. It has a reputation as a writer’s college. Look out for its fantastic cloisters.
Two other must sees are the Bodleian Library, founded by Sir Thomas Bodley in 1565 and the Radcliffe Camera, one of the city's most photographed buildings.
Oxford also boasts some spectacular museums – amongst the best are the Ashmolean – established in 1683 it is Britain's oldest public museum and The Pitt Rivers anthropological museum.
Oxford is a vibrant city, with a wide selection of shops, hotels and restaurants. Wander through the High Street, past the Carfax Tower (with city views), make a detour to medieval Oxford Castle, continue past the Covered Market towards the Botanic Garden and the beautiful river Thames, called the Isis.

20160208 Oxford City Council Meeting Public Addresses - UK
The Public Addresses and Question to Oxford City Council on 8th February, 2016. As usual, the Labour controlled Council (only 1 in 8 of the public voted them in to what is absolute power) happily support addresses and motions that don't criticise them. And as usual, the responses to addresses that highlight the shortcomings of the Council are a combination of Inaccurate, Incomplete, Misleading and Untrue.
The address by Nigel Gibson highlights the 'Blue Hole' left by Labour. Closing Temple Cowley Pools (Leisure Centre) left 40,000 people unable to exercise sensibly - 25% of the population of Oxford. Always more at savetemplecowleypools.webs.com
