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.

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 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 Central Fish Restaurant originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Aberystwyth’s best fish & chips. Well worth the walk from anywhere in the town.

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.
This review of History of Science Museum originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
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.
This review of Nationwide Building Society originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
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.
This review of Cornish Bakehouse originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
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!
