I live just off iffley road at the moment, so I guess you'd say 'central'

Blackbird leys - bit rough! (I've only been there once when we went to have a look in a car )

yeah I know - I'm a very bad oxford resident, I've never been further than 2 or 3 miles from the centre

Wasn't it considered one of the worst council estates in the country for a while? Properly rough area, completely not what you think when you think about oxford
