Does anyone live near Thame, Oxfordshire?
Can anyone tell me what it's like to live there as I'm moving to there in about a months time?
Places to go & avoid etc ?
Cheers in advance smile

Small market town, used to have tickets on itself, reasonable selection of pubs, used to have a few famous faces too. I believe JK lives in the area... and one of the Bee Gees iirc

its absically the usual small market town....

The Architect works there.. so might pop a few more pointers on,

Has some good roads, that the oute the the M40, go over the top past Lasco reclamation, and Ray White's place and continue to Stadhampton following the signs for wallingford... watching out for some of the sharp right's! continue to Reading or Henley if you fancy the run.

Also go out through Thame to Bicester, great road if you get a clear run...

I used to work there. Quite a nice little place, but has a rough element. There's a few no-hoper skinhead types about 40 years old, who sit around in the centre drinking all day and generally being idiots. Like most places, it has it's good and bad parts. Often used on Midsummer Murders as a location, so quite pretty. Generally safe though.

Nice enough place, close enough to Oxford if you want clubs etc and touristy bits. cant really add any more than what has been said already, has usual rough areas and some nicer areas. Often see a DBS parking by the town hall.
