Location
Based in the Oxfordshire countryside, Harwell Campus is global in its outlook and in its reach.
Harwell is in the UK’s Golden Triangle and located in Science Vale UK, a UK Enterprise Zone. With quick, easy access to Oxford, London, Bristol and Heathrow airport, Harwell is well-connected for business, and the area offers a high quality of life and an international community.
Oxfordshire is an ideal place to land, with commercial rental costs significantly lower than alternatives including London, Cambridge and Reading. At the southern tip of Oxfordshire’s ‘Knowledge Spine’, close to the Thames Valley Corridor and Heathrow Airport, Harwell is prioritised for growth by the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership.
Oxfordshire boasts extensive strengths in a number of key sectors including life sciences, electronics, automotive (including Formula 1), digital and space-related industries.
Many world-leading, blue chip organisations are based in or near Harwell, and the county is home to an impressive knowledge-intensive cluster that incorporates over 1,500 high technology firms.
The best-connected location for science and technology
Oxford city centre is just over 20 minutes, drive away, Heathrow is 55 minutes by road, and nearby Didcot Parkway station connects you to London Paddington in just 42 minutes.
The launch of Crossrail in 2018 and the upgrade to the Didcot Parkway Line mean it will soon be possible to reach central London Underground stations in under one hour.
