Abingdon?
Serviced Apartments in the Heart of Abingdon — One Base, Four of Oxfordshire’s Biggest Science Hubs
If you’re working at Culham Campus, Milton Park, Harwell or the Oxford Science Park, our serviced apartments in central Abingdon put you within a 15-minute drive of all four — with a historic riverside market town on your doorstep. Whether you’re on a short-term contract or an extended placement, Abingdon offers something few locations can: genuine proximity to Oxfordshire’s Science Vale without sacrificing quality of life after hours.
Perfectly Placed for Science Vale
Abingdon sits right at the centre of Oxfordshire’s science and innovation corridor, with fast access to the A34 connecting you north to Oxford and south to Didcot:
Culham Campus — 10 minutes. Home to the UK Atomic Energy Authority and the country’s fusion energy programme, Culham is one of the most exciting places to work in UK science right now. General Fusion and First Light Fusion are building demonstration facilities on site, and companies like Kyoto Fusioneering and Astral Systems have recently joined the campus. If you’re part of Culham’s growing fusion cluster, Abingdon is the closest town of any size — just across the river.
Milton Park — 10 minutes. The UK’s largest single-ownership innovation community, home to over 270 companies across life sciences, technology and engineering, with the new Signal Yard destination hub launching in 2026.
Harwell Campus — 15 minutes. Over 240 organisations and 6,000 people working across space, health tech, clean energy and quantum computing — including the UK’s largest space cluster with more than 100 space organisations.
Oxford Science Park — 15 minutes. Straight up the A34 to one of Europe’s leading locations for science and technology companies, on the southern edge of Oxford.
For anyone splitting time between sites — or teams spread across more than one campus — Abingdon is arguably the most convenient base in Oxfordshire.
A Proper Town, Not Just a Place to Sleep
Abingdon-on-Thames is one of Britain’s oldest towns, and it shows in the best way: a handsome market square, independent shops and cafés, riverside pubs, and scenic walks along the Thames and through the Abbey Gardens. Our apartments on Queen Street and Stert Street are right in the town centre, so everything you need — supermarkets, restaurants, gyms, takeaways — is a short walk away. No car required for daily life.
After a long day on site, that matters. You’re not stuck on a business park or in a roadside hotel; you’re in a real community with places to eat, drink and unwind.
Well Connected Beyond the Car
Regular buses run to Oxford city centre and Didcot, and Didcot Parkway offers fast direct trains to London Paddington and Reading. Radley station is just up the road for local services. For visiting colleagues or weekend trips, you’re well covered.
Central Apartments, Ready for You
Our Abingdon apartments range from one-bedroom apartments ideal for solo contractors through to larger two, three and five-bedroom options for project teams. Every apartment comes fully furnished with a modern kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, in-apartment laundry, weekly housekeeping and all utilities included. Book direct with us and there are no platform commissions or hidden fees — just the best rates and personal service from a local, family-run team.
