Park Town is one of the most well-known streets in central North Oxford, a suburb of Oxford, England. It was one of the earliest planned suburban developments in the area.
   The Park Town Estate Company was formed in September 1857, through the efforts of Samuel Lipscomb Seckham (1827–1900). The elegant houses and gardens that resulted were originally surrounded by ornamental iron railings.

   To the west is Banbury Road and to the east is the Dragon School.

Number 5 Park Town was the second home of the Central Labour College (1910–1911) before it relocated to 11–13 Penywern Road, Earls Court, London.
