About

Marston is a residential suburb located northeast of Oxford city centre, beyond the River Cherwell and the University Parks. The area is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, along with more modern developments, providing housing for a mix of families, university staff, and students. Its main thoroughfare is Marston Road, which features a range of local shops, cafes, and essential services catering to the community.

The ward includes Old Marston village, with its historic St. Nicholas Church and the 17th-century pub The Victoria. The area is bordered by the Cherwell and its flood meadows, with walking paths leading to the University Parks. A large psychiatric hospital, the Warneford, is a significant local institution, and the presence of the Headington Hill transmitting station, visible for miles, is a distinctive landmark on the skyline.
