Lathbury Road

Lathbury Road is a residential road in north Oxford, England.

The road runs approximately east–west with a small curve halfway along. At the western end of the road is a junction with (A4144) and at the eastern end is a junction with Banbury Road (A4165), the two major arterial roads out of Oxford to the north. To the south is Staverton Road and to the north is Moreton Road. It lies to the north of the original North Oxford development by St John's College, Oxford but since it is south of Summertown it is often considered to be part of Central North Oxford, with high house prices.

The Bengali author and broadcaster Nirad Chaudhuri (1897–1999) lived at 20 Lathbury Road from 1982 to 1999. A blue plaque was installed by the Oxfordshire Blue Plaques Board in 2008. The jurist and international lawyer Sir Humphrey Waldock (1904–1981) lived at 6 Lathbury Road. The historian Ralph Henry Carless Davis (1918–1991) lived in Lathbury Road with his wife Eleanor.

In the early 1980s, Williams College, a liberal arts college located in Williamstown, Massachusetts, United States, purchased a group of houses, today known as the Ephraim Williams House, on Banbury Road and Lathbury Road. The Williams-Exeter Programme was founded in 1985. Since that time, 26 undergraduate students from Williams College spend their junior year at Exeter College, Oxford each year as members of the college.
