Standlake is a small village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set in a quietly rural landscape of farms, meadows and a series of flooded gravel workings that have become ponds and nature-rich lakes. The waters and marshy meadows are valued for birdlife and informal fishing and walking, and the village sits within easy commuting distance of Oxford and Witney, so many residents combine local rural life with jobs in nearby towns.
The settlement retains a historic core of traditional cottages and a parish church, and the social life centres on a village hall, local pubs and community clubs; agriculture and small local businesses remain important to the local economy. Annual events, volunteer wildlife work and a primary school help maintain a strong sense of community in what is otherwise a modest and unhurried West Oxfordshire village.
