Donnington is a ward of Oxford in Oxfordshire, England, occupying a largely residential pocket to the east of the city centre. It sits close to riverside green space and walks along the River Cherwell, giving it a pleasant mix of urban convenience and easy access to open areas.
The neighbourhood contains a mix of Victorian terraces, inter‑war and post‑war council housing alongside some more recent developments, and supports a socially mixed community with active local groups, a community centre and small shops. Most people commute into the wider city for work, but Donnington retains a strong local identity, a modest high street feel and a history shaped by Oxford’s 19th–20th century expansion.
