Egrove Park is Saïd Business School’s executive education centre situated in 37 acres of parkland two miles from Oxford City Centre.

Founded in 1965, the purpose built centre was designed by the architect Richard Burton to provide a secluded and congenial centre for study. The grounds were landscaped by the late Alan Mitchell, a leading expert on trees cultivated in the British Isles.

With 40 years experience in executive education, Saïd Business School understands the needs of executives and prides itself on high standards of service and attention to detail. Residential accommodation at Egrove Park is in specially designed, split-level study bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities. In addition, as you would expect from a leading provider of executive education, all rooms are equipped with a generous desk and seating provision, networked internet access, telephone, television and other essentials to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

The catering at Egrove Park is excellent and is widely considered the best in Oxford.

The centre also has a gym, sauna, squash courts, snooker room, croquet lawn, and all-weather surface suitable for tennis, football, and other games. There are many walking and jogging trails in the grounds leading into the nearby woods. Swimming and golf can be arranged locally. A limited supply of equipment is available, including golf clubs, squash racquets and bicycles.

Road and rail links are excellent; the centre of London is just over an hour away, and the journey from Heathrow airport takes approximately 45 minutes.
