Oxford (England) at a Glance

Oxford is a city in the South East region of England and the county town of Oxfordshire. For over 800 years, it has been a home to royalty and scholars. Nowadays, the city is a bustling cosmopolitan town which is home to a growing hi-tech community. Many businesses are located in and around the town, whether on one of the Science and Business Parks or within one of a number of residential areas. The city is known worldwide as the home of University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Buildings in Oxford demonstrate examples of every English architectural period since the arrival of the Saxons, including the mid-18th-century Radcliffe Camera. Oxford is known as the "city of dreaming spires", a term coined by poet Matthew Arnold. It is a wonderful place to ramble along the oldest colleges which date back to 750 years and little has changed inside the hallowed walls since then. But along with the rich history, tradition and lively academic life, there is a world beyond the college walls.
