Grandpont is a community of terraced streets just south of the Thames from Oxford City centre. Originally in Berkshire, this area was incorporated into Oxford at the end of the 19th century. You can see the Geograph "near to" caption still says South Hinksey, the Old Berkshire parish in which these streets were built, rather than Oxford which is much nearer. It's unusual to get such a long view unobstructed by parking, but this is bike country. Nearly all the houses have cycle mooring rings let into the brickwork on the front wall.
