Temple Cowley

Temple Cowley is a residential area located southeast of Oxford's city centre, bordering Cowley and Blackbird Leys. The ward is primarily composed of housing estates, ranging from interwar semis to more modern developments, with local shops concentrated along the main arteries of Between Towns Road and Temple Road. It contains several schools and the large Oxford City Football Club ground.

The area is defined by its proximity to the slopes of Shotover Hill, offering accessible green space and walking routes. A notable local landmark is the Church of St James and St Bartholomew, a Victorian building with a distinctive spire visible from many parts of the ward. Daily life centres on practical amenities, with good bus links providing a direct connection to the city centre and the larger retail offerings of Cowley.
