Your space to relax, stay and be active

Located on Mansfield Road, the University Club is a welcoming space for Oxford's staff, postgraduates and the local community. We offer comfortable guest accommodation and flexible meeting and event spaces open to all visitors, University Sport fitness facilities, and a variety of community-led clubs and classes. 

Our cafe and bar are closed until late 2027, however, the seating area remains open during the day. Equipped with Wi-Fi and power points, it is a great spot for working, quick team catch-ups, or enjoying your lunch.
