South Oxford describes the area which runs south from the city centre for about 2.5kms along the main Abingdon Road. Weekly Home short let serviced self-catering apartments in this area offer very convenient access to the city centre as everywhere is within walking distance or a short bus ride. The first section, nearer the city centre, is known as Grandpont, and the further section is known as New Hinksey. This is an increasingly fashionable part of town with many Victorian terraced houses in Grandpont, and 1930s houses in New Hinksey. The Abingdon Road runs parallel to the River Thames, with lovely views of the college sports grounds and boathouses all along one side and delightful riverside walks. Visitors staying at our short let apartments in South Oxford can enjoy the facilities of Hinksey Park, which has an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts and a lake. South Oxford is popular with younger professionals and students. It has no shopping centre, but plenty of essential shops for the self-catering visitor, such as small supermarkets, newsagents and a chemist, and a number of pubs.

The area has excellent transport links with very frequent buses to the city centre. It adjoins the Oxford Ring Road and the A34, with easy access to the M40.
