Bicester is a rapidly growing town in northern Oxfordshire, located 20 km north of Oxford and 70 km northwest of London via M40. With 1 rental company in the center, Bicester is a practical stop for shoppers at the world-famous Bicester Village and visitors to Oxfordshire. The town has excellent train connections to London Marylebone in under 1 hour.

Bicester Village Designer Outlet, one of Europe's most visited shopping destinations, is just 2 km south of the center. Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of Winston Churchill, is located 15 km to the southwest via A4095.
