A main road, short, straight moderate climb under trees and by parkland out of Oxford to nearby Headington. If commuting by bike out of town, you could time it so that a bus is pulling away from the bus stop at the bottom, then slipstream it all the way to the top... and overtake the bus full gas as it slows for the next stop at the hill crest.

Any oxygen-depleted cyclist entering Headington after the hill sprint may believe they are hallucinating at the sight of a fibre-glass shark plunged headfirst into a terraced house. But no, it is real and locally famous.
