Headington is located in the east of Oxford, Oxfordshire, UK, and is one of the key areas of the University City of Oxford. It is about 3 kilometers away from Oxford city center, with convenient transportation and rich academic and living resources.
Heddington is famous for its Oxford University campus and the John Radcliffe Hospital, and is surrounded by a large number of students and academics. The landmark Headington Shark, a giant shark sculpture embedded in the roof of the building, has become a symbol of the local art scene.
The area is well served by Headington High Street, which offers a wide range of shopping and dining options, and the bus system provides direct access to Oxford city center. Adjacent to South Park and University Park, the neighborhood provides recreational space for residents while retaining the tranquil atmosphere of an English-style community.
First recorded in the Doomsday Book of 1086, Hetherington was historically predominantly agricultural and gradually developed into a residential and academic extension of Oxford after the 20th century. Today some of the historic buildings remain, blending modern academic culture with traditional English charm.
