Beyond their commitment to academic work, Summer School students are free to organise leisure time and take advantage of the many sporting, cultural and social facilities which Oxford is able to offer. London, with its splendid heritage, theatres and concert halls is little more than an hour away for a few sterling pounds by coach.
In Oxford, evening open-air theatre in College gardens, concerts and recitals galore in the Sheldonian Theatre and medieval College Chapels, afternoons punting on the Rivers Cherwell and Isis (Thames) and evenings of conversation in one of Oxford’s myriad pubs – these are the delicious ingredients of summer in one of Europe’s loveliest cities.
