England's oldest university city (the University of Oxford predates 1096), 1 hour west of London by rail. The Carfax-Cornmarket-High Street axis through the 38 colleges is the walkable historic core; Jericho and Cowley Road are the typical resident-and-nomad neighborhoods. UK has no DNV; the Skilled Worker or Global Talent visa are the practical routes. Genuinely expensive — rents within 1km of the colleges routinely top £1,400/mo for studios.
