To the person who found, and handed in my teenage daughters handbag in the Westgate yesterday evening - a HUGE THANK YOU!.

I am so thankful that there are some good, honest people out & about in Oxford. ❤️

They seem way way worse here than any driving iv seen anywhere else. Im a bit too nervous to ride my bike after nearly being hit by taxis on about 10 seperate occaisons

Hey reddit,

I’m considering moving to oxford to complete my masters degree this September. I’m an international student from Canada!

What are everyone’s honest thoughts about the city? Is it generally safe? Transit accessible? How’s the weather?

Well done to the placard writer anyway

Hello ! I was wondering anyone gather anywhere specific to see the sunrise on the solstice in Oxford? I’m a student in the centre so I probably can’t go too far since it’s quite early but I’m happy to walk places ! Would love to hear some suggestions for celebrating the beginning of summer in this beautiful city :)

Hi everyone, my partner and i are FTB and looking to buy a home in Oxfordshire. We dont have any ties to anything so really we just need a home thats reasonable commute to work. We want to buy a new build and wondering if anyone could give us advice on which areas are best.

Edit: i realise my post was too vague. We both work in reading. We'd like a 4 bed detached home and our budget is 550000. We hope to have kids in the near future. We dont mind a 45min - 1 hr commute to work (having worked in london we are quite used to 1hr door to door). We work hybrid as well so only in the office 2-3 times a week.

We are in our 30s so we'd like to be around 30-50's (not super young and potentially raving and not retirement and would like quiet)

Hello, I'm in charge of booking pubs for our weekly social meet up group and there's quite a few matches during the world cup that overlap. Its not that we're averse to the football but in our experience it can get quite loud and we struggle to hear each other speaking, so I'm looking for suggestions of pubs that either aren't showing the matches (I imagine, none) or ones that will say only be showing it inside and have outdoor space that is tv free (I know some pubs installed outdoor tvs during the pandemic). We already know about the Head of the River so that's on the list, so I just need to cover the other 4 weeks

any fixed gear riders in Oxford? Im keen to get a semi-regular fixed gear ride out going, anyone interested?

It is/was a fun little street food area near the Ultimate Picture Palace off Cowley Road. Really nice concept when we went last year. I understood they were closing for winter and reopening for the sunnier times, but it’s still looking closed online.

Idle curiosity on my part mainly, but it seems a generally beneficial thing to have at that end of the Cowley Road.

I'm about to move to the Folly Bridge area (OX1) and looking for internet provider recommendations.

My last place had Virgin Media but they don't offer full fibre speeds in the city centre. It seems no one offers fiber in the city center??

I work from home and do a lot of video calls, so I need at least 70 Mbps

Does anyone know the name of the gnocchi/aranchini stand that was in gloucester green about 5 years ago? Don’t think it’s the same one that’s there now

I've got to drop my car off for servicing at one of the big dealerships off Langford lane, and stupidly didn't sort a hire car for the day early enough. Does anyone know of any cafes or remote working spaces I can work in nearby? I don't mind walking a few miles if need be but don't really know the area too well - I live and work near Abingdon so it's a bit out of the way and taking public transport looks like an absolute mission.

I'm looking for somewhere to hire for a handfasting party next year, for max £1000. Also max 100 people so no need to be huge. All Google gives me is expensive wedding venues, but we are on a very tight budget and want to organise the details and food ourselves, and we are doing the legal bit separately so no need for a licenced wedding venue!

We are Oxford based so anywhere close ish would be good but near counties also considered! Does anyone know anywhere?

I was on EE for several years and I basically got used to the fact that my 4G/mobile service was unusable. Have since switched to lebara, which I think is virtual network running on vodafone's network, and it is a bit better, but still pretty useless, especially in Cowley.

Would anyone mind recommending a service provider that they find works well for them in Oxford (if such a things exists)?

Thanks!

I hope ok to post. I made a little game and am looking for someone to post about it online. I'm looking in Oxford so I can meet them in person.

I am posting because I've been searching online quite a lot. I'm preferably looking for an individual, not an agency.

Also, if you know someone who is good at Instagram/tiktok/YouTube they don't even need to be a professional, I am happy to pay them. I just need someone who is experienced with getting views, probably the less professional, the better. Thanks.

Feel free to DM me if you have a friend or know a young person / student who may be interested in this, some extra money on the side.

I'm visiting another European country and once again blown away by how EVERYWHERE has mobile phone coverage. We were in villages on top of mountains; they had mobile phone reception.

How do we get this problem solved in Oxford? Do we need a petition? How do we get more masts? I really want to make it happen.

Anyone else received a Penalty Charge Notice recently? I registered for the Congestion Charge last September, and I have not been getting anything until now. Seriously man... driving me nuts

I'm interested in hiring a nanny part-time this summer to help with my preschooler. Can anyone recommend resources (agencies, Facebook groups, etc) for finding someone?

Hello! I'll be visiting Oxford with my wife for two days next month, and we've been planning on what to do with our time.

We already know we're seeing the Museums of National History and Pitt Rivers and possibly the covered market in the same day. For the next day we want to take the free walking Tolkien tour since we're both fantasy nerds and maybe go sightseeing? Not sure yet

We are open to suggestions, both of things to do and tourist traps to avoid. Also tips on how much to budget for food, transportation (we intend on using public transport and walking wherever and whenever possible) and whether it's easily accessible to bring around refillable water bottles or we should budget for bottled water as well

We're traveling from Italy in the first weeks of June, and we intend to spend a couple days in London as well, whether before or after depends on availability of friends we want to hang out with

Thanks in advance!

Hello is there anyone going to the oxford said summer school on July18-31 if so plz dm me 🥰🥰🥰
