Farndon Road

The area where Farndon Road is located in Walton Manor was originally owned by St John's College, Oxford.

[citation needed] The Alexandra Residential Club had a building on the northern corner of Farndon Road at 133 Woodstock Road that was built to provide affordable accommodation for about 100 young women studying or working in Oxford.

It was sold to Oxford University in 2020 with no such condition, and in 2021 the building became graduate student housing for members of Reuben College.

[4] 1 Farndon Road was the home of the architect Harry Drinkwater until his death in 1895[5] and of the urban planner and writer Thomas Sharp in the 20th century.

[6] The poet Lee Gerlach wrote a poem Sharp's Oxford, #1 Farndon Road.
