Raines Building St Anne’s Oxford:
The city has been in the news recently with the student campaign to remove the statue of Cecil Rhodes: he attended Oxford in the 1870s and his statue stands prominently on the outside of Oriel College.

Oxford Architecture Walking Tours
Our architectural tours in the city significantly outpace our city walks in sister city Cambridge, which is a surprise as the latter has a feast of architecture, though I’m slightly biased having lived in Cambridge and with many family members having attended university there!

Masters Field Development Balliol College Oxford
Masters Field Development is a significant addition to the edge of the urban centre of this English university city, with a total of 228 bedrooms. It also represents the development of a sophisticated visual and constructional language which allows for the degree of repetition and subtle variation that is both necessary and appropriate for a single building project of this size and in this context.
Our Oxford guided tours are all tailored to suit each booking, we do not allow for bookings to be joined. Our guided tours in Southeast England are all exclusive to each client.

This historic English city is famous for its old and distinguished University. Like its twin city Cambridge it has much brilliant historic and contemporary architecture. Oxford is set at the junction of the River Isis and Thames.
