"Abingdon is a charming market town in Oxfordshire, England, and is a popular destination for expats looking to retire. Before retiring in Abingdon, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is slightly higher than the UK average. Expats should also be aware of the local climate, which is generally mild but can be cold in winter. Additionally, expats should research the local healthcare system and the availability of medical services in the area.
