Oxford Jericho Wharf sold to Oxford University college
Oxford Mail July 29, 2026 writer Matt Simpson
A derelict Oxford wharf has been sold to an Oxford University college with promise to finally develop the site. Worcester College has completed the purchase of Jericho Wharf from Hong Kong-based Cheer Team for an undisclosed price.

Jericho Wharf's sale was confirmed late on Tuesday afternoon by the Walton Street-based college.
