context_page_description: Sandford-on-Thames, also referred to as simply Sandford, is a village and Parish Council beside the River Thames in Oxfordshire just south of Oxford. The village is just west of the A4074 road between Oxford and Henley.
context_section_description: The village has two public houses: the King's Arms on the river (converted in the 19th century from the Mill malthouse), and The Catherine Wheel on Henley Road. The Fox (built in 1853 by the Morrell family) has been closed since 2009.
  The village has several public open spaces including a large, fenced recreation ground next to the church containing children's play equipment, a grassed area on the riverside near Sandford Lock which is the site of the old wharf, and recreation areas off Heyford Hill Lane which also contain children's play equipment.  All are maintained by the Parish Council.  The Oxford Preservation Trust owns the land between Broadhurst Gardens and the River Thames.
  The village shop and post office was closed in 1987. The nearest local shop is in the Ashurst Clinic grounds, a few hundred yards north along the Henley Road towards Littlemore.
  The Sustrans cycle path is accessible from the village across the river Thames and offers easy access to Oxford city centre along the river.
  Sandford is a scheduled stop for Salters Steamers' river boat services between Oxford and Abingdon.
  A regular local bus service between Wallingford and Oxford city centre serves the village.
