Keep reading to explore the story behind the famous Oxford phone booth and how you can experience a piece of London right here in Mississippi.
A Bit of Oxford History
Many visitors recognize the iconic red British phone booth located on the Oxford Square in front of City Hall. Installed on August 30, 1995, the booth was donated by local resident and U.S. Air Force Colonel John Valentine, who shipped it from Oxford, England to Oxford, Mississippi. Since then, it has served as a popular, functional landmark and beloved photo spot for locals, Ole Miss students, and visitors alike.
As one of the top places to stay near Ole Miss, we love celebrating the traditions and history that make Oxford special. That’s why we brought a piece of London directly to our property at Roundabout Oxford RV & Water Resort.
