Oxford is a city in south central England, located on the River Thames (locally known as the "Isis") near its confluence with the Cherwell. It is the county town of Oxfordshire and mainly noted for Oxford University, the oldest university in the United Kingdom (comprising a number of partly autonomous colleges), but during the 20th century it also became an important centre for car manufacturing.
