About Summertown
Summertown is North Oxford's neighbourhood high street. Independent shops, cafes and restaurants line Banbury Road and South Parade, with the North Wall Arts Centre a short walk away.
Drop in for lunch between errands, bring the children after school, or come for dinner before a show at the North Wall.
