About Oxford

Browns Oxford is in an ideal platform for exploring this fascinating city. One of the best ways to do it is simply to walk around and look at some of the remarkable college buildings like those at Magdalen and Balliol as well as other great structures such as the Radcliffe Camera, which houses part of one of the world’s greatest libraries, the Bodleian.

But there are also plenty of other things to do: there are excellent theatres, art galleries and museums as well as lots of shops. Browns Oxford is well placed for all these activities, just a few minutes’ walk away from both the city centre and most of the colleges.
