The Covered Market Oxford, Market St, Oxford OX1 3DZ, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An Oxford institution almost as well-established as the Colleges (although a lot less well-known), the covered market is home to dozens of small and local shops and cafes. Well worth a
visit whether you’re a resident or just a tourist in the city.
Found during a trip to the cinema with my family, whom I’m up visiting in Preston from Oxford. Very quick find thanks to a solid description: cache still intact despite ongoing work on
the paths here; however, currently NOT wheelchair accessible until the new paths are laid. SL, TFTC.

Rating: ⭐⭐
Soulless collection of dealerships, all in one place! I’m not sure whose idea it was that car dealerships belonged all in one place (like a food court or a shopping centre): maybe
somebody who genuinely believes that normal people “window shop” for cars and want the convenience of being able to do so on foot?
Pitt Rivers Museum, S Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3PP, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
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.
Yr Hen Orsaf - JD Wetherspoon, Alexandra Rd, Aberystwyth SY23 1LN, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
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!
Launderette Golchdy, 75 N Parade, Aberystwyth SY23 2JN, United Kingdom.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
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!
