Location

Thame is the quintessential English market town, located close to the Chiltern hills and the city of Oxford. Taking its name from the famous river that flows through its centre, the town is blessed with a long and illustrious history. These days it’s a bustling, elegant place with something for all tastes. The pretty High Street is dotted with a
mix of Medieval and Georgian buildings and home to a huge range of independent shops as well as bars, public houses and restaurants.
A Waitrose & Sainsburys supermarket are also located in the centre.
Despite Thame’s rural position, the town is well positioned for links to London. Trains from the nearby station now reach Marylebone in
around 36 minutes (fast train) while the M40 is a short drive from the town centre. Local education facilities are provided for all ages and include three reputable primary schools and the renowned Lord Williams’ Comprehensive School which has recently obtained outstanding status from Ofsted. The preparatory school of Ashfold is located in the nearby village of Dorton, with a choice of private schools in nearby Oxford, all accessible by bus. All church denominations are
catered for with a particularly well known Catholic school.
