Alongside thousands of car parking spaces, we are also building a reliable EV network, so it’s never been simpler to find somewhere to top up your battery.
Hello Oxford
Oxford is a centre for learning and is home to one of the world’s largest libraries, with over 120 MILES of shelving for books.
There’s more to the city than the university though. It’s a fantastic place to use as a base to explore the rest of the surrounding Cotswolds. Parts of the city and university campus are featured in the Harry Potter films, so if you’re a wizarding fan it’s full of fantastic locations to visit.
Whether you’re visiting to study, work or simply explore Oxford is a stunning place to get lost in.
