Oxford, area by area

Summertown & North Oxford
Make it your own.

Head north for a more residential side of Oxford. Banbury Road links the North Parade area with Summertown’s shops and cafés, while South Parade leads to The North Wall. This hub includes North Oxford addresses as well as Summertown, so check the venue’s address when planning your stops.

From Carfax, walk through St Giles towards Banbury Road, or use a northbound bus for the longer journey to Summertown. From Oxford station, reach the centre first and choose the appropriate northbound service. Bus routes and stop locations can change, so confirm the operator’s current journey information.
