Situation

Kennington is one of Oxford’s best-loved villages, positioned just south of the city and close to the Thames-side meadows, yet with everyday amenities and easy routes into central Oxford.

For commuters, Radley railway station is the nearest rail link, at approximately 1.3 miles from the property, offering services towards London, Didcot and Oxford connections via the mainline network. Road access is equally convenient, with quick links to the ring road and the wider A34 corridor.

Public transport is a real strength locally. The Oxford Bus runs between Oxford city centre and Abingdon via Kennington and Radley, with daytime services typically around every 15 minutes. Stops are close by, making it easy to hop into town for work, shopping, restaurants and cultural attractions without needing the car.

Cyclists are well served too. The area links into National Cycle Network Route 5, giving a useful, largely traffic-free option for riding towards Oxford and out into the surrounding countryside. Proof Social Bakehouse even highlights the ease of walking or cycling to its café by following Route 5 along the canal-side path.

Proof Social Bakehouse on the Sandford Lane is roughly 0.2 miles away for artisan coffee and bakes, and The King’s Arms in Sandford-on-Thames is around 0.4 miles away for riverside pub lunches and relaxed evenings. Oxford’s colleges, museums, theatres and the Westgate shopping centre are all within easy reach, while the village setting keeps the pace of life calm when you return home.



Outdoor lovers will appreciate the nearby riverside paths and locks. Sandford Lock is a short walk or cycle away, and the towpaths offer scenic routes for runs and dog walks. From here you can continue along the Thames towards Iffley and Oxford, or head the other direction towards Radley and Abingdon. It’s a location that makes it easy to mix commuting convenience with countryside-style weekends.
