Completed in mid-1950s,[1] Oxford Road was named after Oxford, England as one of the Kowloon Tong streets which were named after places in Britain by the British colonial authorities. Oxford, being a heritage-rich city in England, was chosen as the first name of all the Kowloon Tong streets.[2]
Locationedit
Oxford Road runs from Oxford Road Playground to Hereford Road near Sunderland Estate. Succeeding Flint Road at a roundabout near Ho Tung Road, Oxford Road runs northward in a divided dual-carriageway until it meets Lancashire Road near Lannox Gardens. Crossing the junction, Oxford Road merges into a two-way street which continues to run northbound. It meets Moray Road, Selkirk Road and Hampshire Road respectively on the west side and then intersects with Durham Road near Kowloon Tsai House tennis court. After Durham Road, Oxford Road meets Wiltshire Road on the west and finally terminates at Hereford Road near Sunderland Estate and Mary Rose School.[3]
