Be at the Folly Bridge Arms opposite the ground at 5pm for a pre-match pint. Friday 8th July 2011 - Directions to Keble College (See overleaf) We are staying at Keble College again on the Friday and Saturday. Breakfast is served in the Great Hall and your mail will be delivered by owl. Keble College Parking – parking in Oxford is an absolute bloody nightmare. Those not taking their cars to the Friday game need to sort your own parking out. Try either Gloucester Green underground car park (locked overnight) on Beaumont St or the Westgate car park (with security patrols). It will work out something like about £24 per car for 24 hour parking. Not cheap per car but works out about £6 per person per day. Failing that, there are plenty of Park and Rides around the city, but that’s up to you. I am fairly sure that from Saturday 1pm right through to Sunday evening, parking should free along Norham, Bradmore, Crick and Fyfield Roads (see picture, top right), about 10 mins. walk max. from Keble. After Saturday’s game, we can leave the rest of our cars in these roads until we depart on Sunday. These roads are perfectly safe but if these don’t appeal and you want properly secure accommodation, you’ll need to sort your own parking out. FRIDAY 8/7 - Getting from the Sportsview Guest House to Keble College 1. Left out of guest house. Drive back up 2.

The Lamb & Flag – St. Giles. Brilliant pub. Far enough from the main centre to be away from the plebs but about 2 minutes walk from Keble. The White Horse – Broad St. A real Morse pub, next door to Blackwells bookshop. Can get quite busy and cramped. Good fish and chips. The Bookbinders Arms – Victor St, Jericho. Featured in the very first Morse episode. Don’t think the old barmaid with massive hooters is still there though. Extensive and well-kept beer and not the bleak empty dive that was shown in the episode. The Turf Tavern – A sod to find and very popular but an absolute classic. It is off New College Lane, down St. Helen’s Passage (). A great range of ales and a little garden out back. The Eagle & Child – St. Giles. The Tolkein pub, for those of you who are interested. The Royal Oak – Woodstock Rd. Good selection of beers/whiskies. The St. Aldate’s Tavern – St. Aldate’s. Not a great pub per se but it does have Sky TV for those wanting to watch the British Lions match. The Bear – Corner of Blue Boar St.

At a time when Oxford needed to expand out of its historic core centred around the castle, the medieval streets and the major colleges, these two factors enabled the area to be laid out as a planned suburb as lands associated with medieval manors were made available. This gives the whole area homogeneity as a residential suburb.

  • Oxford Information Orientation
    OXFORD INFORMATION Oxford, the ―City of Dreaming Spires,‖ is most noted for its renowned and centuries-old University. Since the Sorbonne ousted its British students from Paris during the reign of Henry II in 1167, Oxford has been home to such distinguished scholars as Sir Thomas More, John Wycliffe, and John Wesley; scientists Robert Boyle, Edmund Halley, and Stephen Hawking; politicians Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, and Bill Clinton. Oxford has even been home to the famed comedian Rowan ―Mr. Bean‖ Atkinson. The list of authors associated with Oxford is both extensive and illustrious, including the likes of Samuel Johnson, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lewis Carroll, Thomas Hardy, Oscar Wilde, T.S. Eliot, Dorothy L. Sayers, W.H. Auden, Evelyn Waugh, William Golding, Iris Murdoch, Colin Dexter, John le Carré, Humphrey Carpenter, and Lady Antonia Fraser. The Inklings—including Owen Barfield, Nevill Coghill, Hugo Dyson, Roger Lancelyn Green, C. S. Lewis, Warren Lewis, Christopher Tolkien, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams—created their heavenly-minded works amidst the city’s gleaming splendor. Gorgeous gardens, spacious parks, and quiet college quadrangles await exploration, while two rivers provide idyllic venues for punting and picnicking. Rich in history, architecture, and academia, Oxford is a bustling town, packed with internationals and tourists soaking up its scholarly ambience. Step off the busy High Street into the hushed sanctuary of a grassy college quad or mingle with the ―town and gown‖ in one of the many quaint pubs tucked along narrow cobbled lanes, and you will glimpse the mystique that has captivated students and poets for centuries.
