Welcome to Temple Cowley

Temple Cowley is a suburb located in the eastern part of Oxfordshire, England. It is situated approximately two miles southeast of the city center and is bordered by the River Thames to the south. The area is known for its rich history, which dates back to the 12th century when the Knights Templar established a preceptory in the region. Today, Temple Cowley is a bustling residential area that is home to a diverse community of people from different backgrounds and cultures.

One of the most notable landmarks in Temple Cowley is the Cowley Barracks, which was built in the 19th century to house soldiers during the Napoleonic Wars. The barracks were later used as a training ground for the Royal Engineers and the Royal Corps of Signals. Today, the site has been converted into a housing estate, but some of the original buildings still remain, including the officers' mess and the guardhouse. The barracks are a testament to the area's military history and are a popular attraction for visitors to the region.

Another significant feature of Temple Cowley is the Cowley Road, which runs through the heart of the suburb. The road is lined with a variety of shops, restaurants, and pubs, making it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The Cowley Road is also home to the O2 Academy Oxford, a music venue that has hosted some of the biggest names in the industry, including Arctic Monkeys, Ed Sheeran, and Adele. The road is a vibrant and bustling hub of activity that reflects the diverse and multicultural nature of the area.
