About Cutteslowe
Where to stay in Cutteslowe
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Beds are scarce on this ground. Cutteslowe is a residential suburb rather than a lodging district, and anyone booking here trades proximity to central Oxford for quiet streets set back from Banbury Road. Field House and Summertown House sit among them.
Sunnymead and Water Eaton flank the suburb on either side, and most visitors base themselves in Oxford proper before travelling out along Banbury Road.
About Cutteslowe
What are the main landmarks in Cutteslowe?
Two houses, one church, one address on Banbury Road. 566, Banbury Road stands on the main road through the suburb, and Field House and Summertown House account for the domestic architecture that gives Cutteslowe its recorded landmarks. The Roman Catholic Church of St Gregory and St Augustine marks the religious side of the same few streets. Oxford holds the rest.
What is the history of Cutteslowe?
Cutteslowe carries no charter year. What stands in place of a written record is the building stock itself, with Field House and Summertown House among the houses and 566, Banbury Road fronting the road that runs north out of Oxford. The Roman Catholic Church of St Gregory and St Augustine joins them.
Sunnymead lies on one side of the suburb and Water Eaton on the other, both within Oxfordshire.
Where is Cutteslowe?
