 Beautiful Oxford location
Keble College is one of the largest of Oxford University's constituent colleges, centrally located in the famous, historical and scholarly city of Oxford.
'The City of Dreaming Spires' as Oxford is known, is a bustling cosmopolitan town with many activities for tourists to enjoy.
Keble is set in idyllic, green surroundings next to the tranquil University Parks, close to numerous places of interest and only a short walk from the city centre.
 Stunning architecture
Founded in 1868, Keble boasts beautiful original brick Victorian buildings with striking gothic architecture designed by William Butterfield (1814-1900).
Many original architectural features can still be seen. The awe-inspiring Chapel (pictured above) and the divine Hall (right), where delegates will dine, both feature authentic interior decoration including colourful tiles, mosaics and stained glass.
