Littlemore is a suburb and civil parish on the southern edge of Oxford in Oxfordshire, England. Once a distinct village with medieval roots, it became notable in the 19th century for its religious associations when John Henry Newman ran a devotional community and retreat there; the area still has historic buildings and a strong local identity linked to that period.
Today Littlemore is largely residential with pockets of light industry, local shops and community facilities. Its landscape bears the imprint of a 19th-century psychiatric hospital that long provided local employment and has since been redeveloped, and the neighbourhood benefits from green spaces and straightforward bus and road connections into central Oxford, making it a convenient spot for city commuters who want a village feel.
