This area is located amongst several green spaces and canal/riverside walks.

These short streets comprise of both Victorian, Edwardian and 1930s houses, all close to the open parks/green areas. The community supports a good range of shops, several public houses, an excellent primary school, local businesses and community centre. Waitrose has announced plans to provide a new food store on Botley Road, and they are considering views before submitting a planning application, this is on the former MFI/Halfords site. West Oxford has an active and supportive community  

The houses in Helen Road were first laid out in 1902 by Thomas Henry Kingerlee. In the 'The Changing Faces Of West Oxford' by Malcolm Graham, he makes mention that Thomas Henry Kingerlee named both Henry Road and Helen Road after two of his children. Number 5 Helen Road is a stunning home which has benefited from meticulous attention to details by the present owners and inspection is recommended.
