Oxford is the oldest university town in England and very renowned, situated about 80km west of the capital London in the county of Oxfordshire on the banks of the River Thames. Together with Cambridge (the second oldest university city and major competitor to Oxford), Oxford represents the English academic establishment and elite, a place of tradition and effort. Oxford's famous "Dreaming Spiers" refer to medieval churches and colleges that dominate the bustling modern city in all its gothic grandeur. Picturesque architecture and a cheerful modern lifestyle (driven by students, light industry and technology) in the Oxfordshire countryside make this a fun destination.
