unveil and it is well renowned as a seat of learning and traditions for
over 800 years.  With its honey-gold buildings, traditional colleges,
river setting and gardens, Oxford is one of the most famous tourist
attractions in England. It is located in a wonderful setting about 80km
north-west of London and about 60km from Heathrow international airport.
Oxford is excellently served by road and train networks that give
instant and direct access to all London airports as well as to other big
international airports and important attractions in England. Low cost
