Florence of Oxford is perfectly placed between Florence Park and Oxford’s historic centre. Here, the city’s two sides meet: the red-brick homes of the 1930s, built for workers and their families, and the stone towers and cloisters of the colleges that made Oxford world-famous.

Within a short walk you can be in Florence Park itself, a green space full of community spirit, or head into the centre to explore Oxford’s libraries, museums, and churches. St Clement’s, Cowley Road, and Magdalen College are all nearby, connecting everyday Oxford life with its historic heart.

The University Church of St Mary the Virgin, the Bodleian Library, and the Romanesque and Gothic traditions visible in towers, chapels, and cloisters show the depth of Oxford’s architectural heritage. At the same time, Florence Park reflects the social history of twentieth-century Oxford — workers, families, and communities building a life in the city.

Florence of Oxford is placed at the meeting point of these worlds: heritage and community, stone and spirit, local and global.
