Kidlington South

Kidlington South sits within the southern part of the Kidlington settlement in Cherwell. The area is largely residential, with a mix of terraces, semi-detached houses and later estate developments clustered around the village centre. Shops, pubs and small businesses line the High Street and provide everyday services; the parish church of St Mary the Virgin stands close to that centre and is a familiar local landmark. Several primary schools and a community centre serve families, while allotments and greenspace are interspersed among streets built in different decades.

Community life in Kidlington South revolves around local clubs and facilities. Sports pitches host football and cricket fixtures, and Kidlington Football Club is one of the local teams based in the village. Regular events take place at the community hall and church rooms, and small workshops and specialist retailers occupy long-standing shopfronts on the High Street. Road patterns and estate layouts record the village’s 20th-century expansion, and everyday routes link homes, schools and shops without crossing major arterial roads.
