Rewley House in Wellington Square is the main base for Oxford Lifelong Learning’s activities. Located in a quiet enclave of central Oxford, Rewley House is a short walk from Oxford’s historic sites, colleges, museums, shops and restaurants, thus making it the ideal base for students and visitors alike.
