Culham is a small village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England. It sits beside the River Thames between Abingdon and Didcot, within easy reach of Oxford, combining riverside landscape with surrounding agricultural countryside.
The parish is best known for the Culham Science Centre, a prominent fusion and plasma research campus that has shaped the local economy and brought a scientific community into an otherwise quiet rural area. Historic features such as the nearby medieval Culham Bridge, the Thames locks and the network of footpaths make the place popular with walkers and river users, while a small village community and good transport links mean many residents commute to nearby towns and cities.
