visiting Oxford

Today we left the hotel again at 9 am for the walk to the tube station, the ride to Paddington Train station, and a train ride to Oxford. Why? In order to understand the situation for a young person trying to live in very expensive London, or very expensive Oxford (and Cambridge) you need to visit those places. In order to understand what the area is like between the Oxford and Cambridge you need to visit Bedford and Stewartby (two of the places closest to the site of the proposed new development.)

We were guided around Oxford by Sophia Spralja, daughter of Professor Kathleen Kaiser, and former Oxford student. She gave us an insider view to the town. After the tour we enjoyed lunch and then the students were given the rest of the afternoon to explore before returning to London.

Tomorrow we synthesize all the information we gathered these past two days and add that to what we did on Monday and heard from our client on last Friday. All this will be mixed into this weeks Friday Presenation live at the clients London Office.
