The OX7 postcode is the gateway to the Cotswolds – Chipping Norton, Charlbury, Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold edge, Spelsbury, Enstone, Churchill and the surrounding stone-cottage villages. It is a postcode with deep roots, deep wallets and a surprisingly strong contingent of Tottenham Hotspur supporters – many of them long-standing season ticket holders who travel down to N17 ten or eleven times a season for Premier League home fixtures, with extra trips for FA Cup, Carabao Cup and UEFA Champions League nights.
The challenge for OX7 supporters is the geography. Chipping Norton is 75 miles from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but those 75 miles cross some of the most congested parts of the M40 and the worst section of the A40 / Northern Approach into London. Public transport from OX7 villages is not a serious option for a 3pm kick-off – it requires a taxi to Charlbury or Kingham station, the Great Western to Paddington, the Underground across to Seven Sisters or Tottenham Hale, and a final shuttle bus or walk to the stadium. By the time you have done that twice (out and back), the day has cost £180 a head and worn through every bit of patience you had.
Chipping Norton (OX7 5) to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is 75 miles via the A44 / M40 / M25 / A10. Realistic timings are 1 hour 45 minutes off-peak and 2 hours 30 to 3 hours on a busy Saturday match day. The driver routes A44 east from Chipping Norton through Enstone and Woodstock, joins the A40 / M40 at junction 8 (Oxford), proceeds south on the M40 to junction 1A for the M25, then anti-clockwise on the M25 to junction 25 (Enfield), exiting onto the A10 Great Cambridge Road southbound and into N17 from the north.
