Abingdon has recently seen an increase in relaxation therapies, with the addition of a second Thai Massage Spa in West St. Helen Street. These establishments offer a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Abbey House stands in the heart of the historic town of Abingdon-on-Thames. This three-storey building was built in the early 1990s as the head quarters of the Vale of White Horse District Council. The ground floor is occupied by the Vale of the White Horse DC and South Oxfordshire DC (whose main office will soon be at the Didcot Gateway site near Didcot Parkway Station). The ground floor also houses the Citizens Advice Bureau.

The first and second floors are being transformed into state-of-the-art office spaces that can be divided into self contained offices starting from 4,000 sq ft.

The new shop that opened on Abingdon High Street in February has closed and they were selling off stock on Saturday. A notice in the window says ‘due to unforeseen circumstances we will be closing down for an unknown length of time … We hope to see you all again soon.’

Clarks shoe shop in Bury Street has reopened its doors! After closing on April 20th, the shop has returned under new management. Local residents can once again enjoy the convenience of a shoe store in Abingdon. With the new school year just around the corner, the shop is well-positioned to meet the demand for footwear.

A new independent pizza shop has recently opened its doors on Ock Street. Taking over the former Pizza Hut location, which closed in June 2023, the new eatery is welcoming customers.
