Academic publisher Taylor & Francis to move to Oxford city centre

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 06:01 · Archive

Taylor & Francis is relocating its main Oxfordshire office from Milton Park, Abingdon, to Oxford city centre.

Taylor & Francis, which employs more than 2,400 people globally, has announced plans to relocate its main Oxfordshire office from Milton Park, Abingdon, to Cantay House on Park End Street in Oxford city centre. The 30,000 square foot building is currently undergoing extensive refurbishment.

Alex Robinson, managing director academic and chief commercial officer at Taylor & Francis, said the move would help the publisher form 'much deeper connections with Oxford's communities, including researchers and students at its universities and institutions, the city's wider population and the visitors it attracts from around the world'.

The new premises will feature publicly accessible areas including a café, event space, and co-creation zones. Taylor & Francis plans to use these spaces to engage directly with the community through events and learning opportunities. Stuart Blackley, executive vice president of operations, said the company chose the location based on what colleagues identified as priorities: 'location, facilities, and spaces that help teams work together effectively'.

Staff are expected to relocate to the new premises in early 2028, as Taylor & Francis's Milton Park lease has ended.
