 LEARN ENGLISH IN OXFORDOxford is surrounded by hills, so when you arrive into the city the skyline of spires and towers awes you.

Well-renowned as a seat of learning and tradition for over 800 years, Oxford has centuries of history to unveil whilst at the same time has not failed to remain in the present. With all the high street shops and many contemporary bars and restaurants, Oxford has a traditional covered market, gift and antique shops, as well as some of the finest bookshops in the world. Traditional pubs can be found that were once frequented by famous writers such as C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien and more recently, TV detective Inspector Morse.Oxford’s visitors will take a walk around the colleges and historic buildings in the city such as Christ Church College, Merton College, Magdalen College, New College. In total, Oxford has over 1,500 listed buildings including Gibb's Radcliffe Camera, Wren's Sheldonian Theatre, and Hawksmoor's All Soul's.  Oxford's two rivers, the Cherwell and the Isis, provide attractive “river walks” if you imagine getting away from the hustle and activity of the city. The Isis is actually the name given to the River Thames as it flows through Oxford.
