Oxfordshire is a county of the south-east of England, neighbouring Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Warwickshire. Abbreviation of " Oxfordshire" is " Oxon" , in particular for the postal addresses.

It is divided into five districts: Oxford, Cherwell, Vale off the White Horse, West Oxfordshire and South Oxfordshire.

The city of Oxford is the principal center of population. The other big cities are Bicester, Banbury, Chipping Norton, Witney, Thame, Chinnor, Abingdon, Wantage, Didcot and Henley-one-Thames.
