Overview
Take this unique opportunity to learn about "Oxford On Screen".
Oxford naturally lends itself as a stunning backdrop for the movie and TV screen and reflects why VisitBritain's latest promotion campaign is called “Starring Great Britain”.
Our expert and passionate guides will show you around the most famous landmarks that have been immortalised on screen, from the Radcliffe Camera in Emerald Fennel’s Saltburn, to the Bodleian Library in Harry Potter, and share the titbits and anecdotes that filming in Oxford can bring.
Suitable for all ages, whether you are a “set-jetting” cinephile or just intrigued by filming locations, join up with those who enjoy spotting the landmarks regularly seen on film and TV.

Excellent Oxford on-screen walking tour
293AndrewS, Mar 2026
This was a great walking tour. I was lucky that there were only five of us, so it felt more like a private tour! Our guide was really friendly and clearly knew his stuff. It's so great that tours like this take you off the beaten track and show you the good stuff you would never find on your own! He was also really helpful at telling us which colleges are free to visit, and when, and even where to get in when it isn't signposted. Altogether, excellent and well worth it.
