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

Economical alternative to Boots, across the road, stocking a broad range of toiletries, cosmetics, and over-the-counter medicines.

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

Fantastic freshly-baked cookies. Orange and chocolate is a firm favourite for me, but oatmeal and raisin is a strong contender too.

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

Amazing handmade gelato and sorbet in all your favourite flavours… and some you’ve probably never heard of.

This review of Barton Grange Garden Centre originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

Enormous garden centre and associated shops, including a very good farm shop and an excellent cafe.

This review of Roadchef Norton Canes M6 (Toll) originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

Clean, well-kept motorway services with all the usual amenities. Parking sometimes a little busy.

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

Sprawling, but clean and airy, following its 2017 renovation/extension.

This review of The Covered Market Oxford originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

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.

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

Fresh ice-cream milkshakes in literally hundreds of flavours. I recommend the Terry’s Chocolate Orange.

This review of Bicester Children and Family Services originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

This review of Motorline Nissan Oxford originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.

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?

It’s a good location, but a pointless exercise.

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.
