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

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.
Review of Macdonald Randolph Hotel

Unimpressive, overrated conference facilities and food which, while acceptable, represents bad value: you would expect better.
Review of King’s Arms

Reasonable, central pub with a good selection of beers and middle-of-the-road food. Small quantity of kerbside outdoor seating.
Review of Clarendon Building
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.
Review of History of Science Museum

My favourite Oxford museum! Fascinating collections and imaginative exhibitions. Space is a little tight (especially when the tourists are out and about) and the disabled access lift seems to be broken more often than not, but so long as you can manage the stairs this Oxford gem promises to show you more about how science USED to be done than you ever thought possible.
Review of Nationwide Building Society

Perfectly reasonable branch of a pleasant building society. Went the extra mile when we took out our first mortgage by sending a box of essentials – toilet paper, mugs, tea, UHT milk etc. – to our new house so that we could settle in before we started to unpack: nice touch.
Review of Cornish Bakehouse

Good-value pizza by the slice, pasties, sausage rolls etc. Note that there are two service hatches – one on Queen Street and one in the shopping centre – and sometimes there’ll be a queue at one while staff wait patiently at the other for you to see sense and take the shortcut!
Review of Tower House

Reasonable conveniently-central hotel with good access to Oxford amenities at an acceptable price. Rooms slightly small and floors excitingly “wonky”: not for those afraid of stairs or prone to seasickness!
Review of Snozone
This review of Snozone originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Having been skiing on ‘real’ snow for ~25 years, I was pleasantly surprised by the believability of this indoor artificial slope: slightly icy, crystalline snow but otherwise very much like the real thing. Better yet was the service: owing to an administrative mix up (slightly my fault, slightly their fault) I arrived anticipating an hour’s private snowboard tutoring – as I hadn’t snowboarded in 16 years – a full 24 hours ahead of when I was expected. Nonetheless, they sorted me out with an instructor and honoured the verbal agreement I claimed to have, despite what was written on my ticket!
Compared to an Alp, the slope is extremely short and the lifts painfully slow, but this gem of a site beats dry-sloping by a long, long way, and offer helpful friendly service to boot.
Review of McDonald’s
This review of McDonald's originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Just another McDonald’s. Generally fast service and not too busy, but limited parking space and access by car is made challenging by the narrow road – partially through a housing estate: no access from the dual carriageway any more – that provides access to it.
Review of Partyman World Of Play
This review of Partyman World Of Play originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Moderately small but well-constructed soft play with plenty to do despite being smaller than some of its competitors. Clean and tidy. Good mixture of food options (and a licensed bar!), although the pizza we had was very salty. Our favourite local soft play area.

Perfectly reasonable supermarket. Car park sometimes challenging to leave at busy times, with tailbacks stretching into the lanes. Two convenient islands of self-service checkouts.

Simple, versatile space with lots of scheduled classes and groups.
