Radley has all the institutions and amenities that you'd expect to find in a suburban village surrounded by farmland but with Oxford to the north and Abingdon to the south. Go to Practical for details of its shop, post office, pub, bus services, station, phone boxes, waste collection and police contact.

The 13th century church and timber-framed vicarage are next to the modern Church Room, which provides a venue for church social events, parish council meetings and small private functions.

Radley Primary School and Radley Pre-School are on the other side of the Church Room, and share a car park with the church.

The Village Hall (built in the late 1970s and extended in the 1990s), is next to the newly refurbished children's Play Area and playing field with a football pitch and sports pavilion. Residents can also take advantage of the sports and other facilities offered by Radley College.

The village's own magazine, the Radley News, has details of forthcoming events and reports from local groups.

A number of venues and facilities in Radley are available for hire to the public. Local residents can also take part in a range of sporting activities.

Oxfordshire Rural Community Council provides support to village communities on issues including rural transport.
