Abingdon School, Abingdon-on-Thames, Oxfordshire
When I was staying nearby Oxford, I couldn't let the chance of visiting Abingdon School slip away. As a huge Radiohead fan, it felt really special to see the building where the members met each other and where they formed their band, then called On A Friday.
