Overview

Oxford Tour would be an ideal getaway from London. Today you will depart from London on a pleasant 2-hour journey to Oxford. Oxford is known worldwide for the University of Dreaming Spires and its place in history.

On the Thames some sixty miles west of London, Oxford’s ancient university city lies. Its colleges cover a lot of the city centre with their gardens and quads. It has been the home of royals and scholars for over 800 years and has become a well-established city since the ninth century, even though people have long been known to have lived in the area.

The city is a lively cosmopolitan city nowadays and although still at its old university, it also has a growing high-tech community. Many companies operate in and around the city, either in one of the scientific and commercial parks or in one of the various residential areas. Today you will explore yesterday’s and today’s popular & ancient city together.

What To Expect

Christ Church is one of the famous colleges in Oxford. The School of British Prime Ministers of all times was founded by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Cardinal and statesman of Henry VIII. The Chapel of the College is doubled as the Cathedral of the city. The Grand Hall of the Harry Potter was filmed in three different spots. On the walls there are portraits of alumni–Prime Ministers, churchmen and philosophers; and Alice in Wonderland writer Lewis Carroll was teaching at the university. Christ Church has a number of architecturally significant buildings including Tom Tower (proudly designed by Sir Christopher Wren an Oxford professor, architect, inventor, astronomer and physicist) Tom Quad (the largest quadrangle in Oxford), and the Great Dining Hall which was also the seat of the parliament assembled by King Charles I during the English Civil War.

Alice’s Shop

Yes, Alice is in Wonderland is real. In the Victorian era, its customers included Alice Liddell, daughter of Henry Liddell, who was Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, which is opposite the shop. Alice, who used to buy sweets at the shop, was the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. We are talking about one of the most famous little shops in the world is right up there, just across the road from Christ Church College. The Alice’s Shop in Oxford is world-famous because the shop itself was written into the Alice adventures over 150 years ago. The small shop was dubbed “Alice’s Shop” locally as soon as the stories became well known, even as it continued as a grocery and sweet shop. Since the mid-60s, the shop began to sell Alice in Wonderland souvenirs. The Shop is now a treasure trove of Alice in Wonderland themed gifts, souvenirs and memorabilia.
