Family-friendly

Grimsbury sits east of the railway line and has traditionally been one of Banbury's more working-class neighbourhoods. Victorian terraces line the streets closer to the station, which is convenient for London commuters. Hightown has some larger Edwardian houses and a slightly different feel. The Grimsbury area has a strong community and its own local shops. It's honest and unpretentious, and the proximity to Banbury station is a genuine draw for people commuting to Birmingham or London.
