The 30,000 students at Oxford University and Oxford Brookes University are a big part of the city’s 150,000 population. The city is youthful and cosmopolitan, with plenty to see and do. It has chain stores, boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, theatres, cinemas, bars and clubs. The Bodleian Library, Ashmolean Museum and Oxford’s dreaming spires are some of its iconic buildings. There are dozens of other fine historic buildings, among them the Sheldonian Theatre, Radcliffe Camera, the cathedral and the colleges. Oxford has green spaces too: riverside walks, England’s oldest botanic garden, the University Parks and college gardens.
