PP.  The Cotswolds are poorly connected to London by train for tourism purposes (few trains per day, few stops).  There are buses that run through the region.  However, in general, we were unable to figure out a speedy way to also visit the Cotswolds without a car while visiting Oxford, Salisbury, and Bath by train.  It's more for people with cars or people on a walking vacation where they walk from town to town and a service shuttles luggage so they can stay in a different village each night.  From London, you can get van tours of the Cotswolds or pass through on a bus tour to another destination like Bath as I mentioned above.

Oxford has some sites that were in the Harry Potter movies and/or the film set inspo.  There's an old empty (literally medieval) classroom and the inspo for the Hogwarts library.  And the inspo for the Hogwarts dining hall.  I went to see these without my kids.  We didn't have a day to go to the Leavesden studio near London where the sets are.  What we did do together was take time to attend the West End Harry Potter stage play which is the two part play that only shows in a few cities.  The Broadway version is the shortened version now.[/quote]
