Park Town lies in the heart of the North Oxford Victorian Conservation Area to the east of Banbury Road. It is very well positioned for Oxford's excellent range of schools, with the Dragon and Oxford High School within walking distance and St Edward's, Magdalen, Headington Girls School, Cherwell, the Swan and Wychwood all within easy reach.
There is good access to all the day-to-day shopping facilities of Summertown, including an M and S Food Hall, other supermarkets, cafes, artisan bakers and restaurants. The Nuffield Health and Racquets Club is on Woodstock Road, and there is also the Ferry Sports Centre in Summertown. Slightly further afield are the more comprehensive amenities of Oxford city centre. The Woodstock and Banbury roads join directly to the Oxford ring road connecting to the A40 and M40 to London. The Oxford main station has regular services directly to London Paddington (approximately 52 minutes), and Oxford Parkway station has services to London Marylebone (about 55 minutes).
