This review of Pitt Rivers Museum originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

The Natural History Museum’s secret cousin, which you’d be as likely to discover by happy accident as by design. A remarkable diversity of ethnographic representation is crammed-in from wall-to-wall and you could easily spend all day among the collections and still have more to see.

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

Very good, responsive massage therapists operating in a calm, relaxed environment: just what you need to unwind.

This review of Argos Kidlington inside Sainsburys originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

In theory, a nice and easy way to get Argos goods if you can’t have them delivered to your house: pick them up with your weekly shopping. In practice: you’re likely to stand around for some time waiting for your order to come out from the back… by which point you might as well have driven to Argos! Still useful if you’re within walking distance, I suppose.

This review of Grovelands Convenience Store originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

Convenient and with plenty of parking as well as easy access by foot. Sells… almost anything you need about the home. Super friendly service.

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

This review of Yr Hen Orsaf - JD Wetherspoon originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

Just another Wetherspoons. Clean and convenient and with cheap drinks, but with food priced at the Wetherspoons price points usually reserved for larger cities: bit of a rip-off in Aberystwyth!

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

Basic, functional launderette. The machines are usually in working order and it’s rarely busy, but it’s inadvisable to leave your washing unattended, even just to go to the shop across the street!

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

Friendly, central, and open virtually all of the time: putting the “convenience” into “convenience store”.

This review of Brynamlwg Sports and Social Club originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

The secret gem of Penglais Campus. Great food and a fabulous atmosphere.

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

Attractive square garden nestled in central Oxford. Aside from the ocassional geocache, nothing special to write home about, but still a nice place for a lunch break.

This review of Macdonald Randolph Hotel originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

Unimpressive, overrated conference facilities and food which, while acceptable, represents bad value: you would expect better.

This review of King's Arms originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

Reasonable, central pub with a good selection of beers and middle-of-the-road food. Small quantity of kerbside outdoor seating.

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

Beautiful, iconically-Oxford, arch-shaped building, but be aware that access for the disabled is pretty-much nonexistent. Upper floors are too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.

This building is mostly not-accessible to the public, but those who attend interviews at the Bodleian Libraries will almost certainly visit as their HR department is found here.
