Oxford Hookups: Oxford Women Want to Meet

Oxford hookups in a city that stays young

Close to a third of the people living in Oxford are between 18 and 29, roughly twice the national share. The reason is plain: some 35,000 full-time students at the city's two universities.

Students are only part of it. Oxford is a cathedral city of around 165,000, more than a third of its residents were born outside the UK, and its work runs from publishing and science to motor manufacturing, research and tourism, with visitors counted in the millions each year. A city with that many students and visitors is used to new faces, which makes it easy to be one. If you are after Oxford hookups rather than a relationship, you are in the right place: say so on your profile and let the right people find you.

First drinks from Carfax to the river

• Carfax Tower
• The Covered Market
• Westgate
• The Clarendon Centre
• The ice rink
• Punting in summer

Carfax Tower is usually taken as the centre of Oxford, and almost everything you need for a first meeting is a short walk from it: the old Covered Market, the Westgate and Clarendon shopping centres, several theatres and an ice rink. Carfax and the university church both look out over the spires, a good excuse to climb somewhere together before you decide where the evening goes.

In summer, punting on the Isis or the Cherwell makes a flirty second date that needs nothing more than decent balance. Prefer to talk on the move? There are 28 nature reserves in or just outside the ring road. Keep the first meeting public, tell a friend where you are, and read our safety page for blocking and reporting.
