Why Location Matters: Exploring the Neighbourhood Around Our Headington Serviced Apartments
If you’re visiting Oxford for work or an extended stay, where you base yourself makes all the difference. Our Ashbrook Serviced Apartments in Headington put you right at the heart of one of the city’s most dynamic and well-connected neighbourhoods.
World-Class Healthcare on Your Doorstep
Headington is home to Oxford’s main hospitals, including the John Radcliffe, Churchill, and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre — making it the natural choice for medical professionals, visiting consultants, and families needing to be close to these facilities. The area also hosts the University of Oxford’s Old Road Campus, a major centre for medical science research, with institutions like the Big Data Institute and Target Discovery Institute all within easy reach.
A Hub for Science and Innovation
Headington sits within one of Oxford’s key innovation districts, fully integrated with the University’s research activities. The nearby Oxford Science Park and Begbroke Science Park are home to dozens of science and technology companies, and the BioEscalator on Old Road Campus provides space for growing life science businesses — all just minutes from our apartments.
Major Employers Nearby
It’s not just the NHS and academia driving Headington’s economy. The wider Oxford area is home to the famous BMW MINI Plant in Cowley, one of the UK’s most significant manufacturing facilities, making our apartments equally well-placed for contractors and professionals working across Oxford’s diverse employment landscape.
Everyday Amenities and Green Spaces
The centre of Headington offers a range of shops, pubs, cafés, and restaurants along London Road, so everything you need day-to-day is within walking distance. For green space, Headington Hill Park, Bury Knowle Park, and the nearby Shotover Hill — a Site of Special Scientific Interest — offer a real escape from the working week.
Easy Access to Oxford and Beyond
Regular bus services reach Oxford city centre in around 15–20 minutes, while the ring road gives quick access to the A40 and M40 — ideal whether you’re commuting into the city or heading further afield.
Whether you’re here for a hospital placement, a research project, or a business contract, Ashbrook Serviced Apartments offer a comfortable, flexible base in one of Oxford’s most sought-after locations. Get in touch today to check availability.
