Excellent Internet hosting services backed by knowledgeable customer service and “real people” you can talk to, all at great prices.

This review of Holland & Barrett originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

Good, conveniently-placed health food shop frequently featuring buy-one-get-one-for-a-penny deals.

This review of Payphone originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

Not just a regular payphone, this is an iconic K2 kiosk almost exactly to Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s original 1924 design, and in fact the only example of such a thing in Oxford (although this particular one wasn’t originally from here): the other ‘red telephone boxes’ in Oxford are all of the latter, smaller K6 design. This particular phone box is a piece of architectural history!

This review of The Tuck Shop originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

Cheap drinks and sandwiches. Little space inside: becomes unnavigable when there’s a queue. Often run short or out of small denominations of coins (more often than you’d expect for a convenience store) and start accepting exact change only (although don’t expect to find that out until you reach the front of the queue).

This review of Oxford Print Centre originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

A range of print services and reasonable prices, but somewhat disorganised: for my largest order, I was given a collection time and arrived only to find that they hadn’t yet started on it!

This review of Barclays ATM originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

Three cash machines, although more often than not one is broken. Very often run out of £10 notes and often out of cash entirely or receipt paper. No sensible queuing space, so when there are queues they often send up on the road. A common target for card skimmer thieves: I’ve been caught out once here!
