Headington
Make it your own.
Headington brings everyday Oxford into view: cafés and pubs around London Road, older village streets and the university area around Headington Hill. Come for a named venue or a climbing session, then leave time for a nearby coffee rather than treating it as an extension of a central college walk.
From Carfax, cross Magdalen Bridge and continue through St Clement’s towards Headington Hill and London Road. It is an uphill journey, so a bus from central Oxford may suit a longer visit. From Oxford station, check a through service or change in the centre, using the venue’s exact address to choose your stop.
