Oxford is a city of many contrasts: vibrant yet bookish, elite yet working class. It has been a seat of learning for almost 1000 years and the site of one of the UK's largest car production plants for almost 100 years (Oxford is where the famous 'Mini' is produced!). Now, as it enters the 21st Century, Oxford is establishing itself as a home to high technology and cutting-edge science.
