- Founded by King Henry VIII, this college holds a unique position in Oxford as many of its alumni went onto become world leaders in the United Kingdom, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Harry Potter fans will enjoy taking snaps of the historic buildings which were filming locations of the iconic series. (pass by)
- With alumni such as Dr Seuss, Edward Abraham and former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, this college is highly regarded for its programmes in English, history, biochemistry and more. Be sure to take a snap of the All Saints Church, which houses the college's stunning library, and is topped with one of the dreaming spires of the city. (pass by)
- See one of the enduring symbols of the city, Radcliffe Camera. It takes its name from both the physician John Radcliffe, and the Latin word 'camera', which means 'room'. The 250-year-old building serves as a reading room for the nearby Bodleian. (pass by)
- Founded in the 15th century, this college only admitted men until 1979. T. E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, once studied here. Sir Christopher Wren was a fellow and designed the iconic sundial which sits atop the entrance to the library. Today, the college primarily focuses on research. (pass by)
- The Bodleian Library is one of the oldest libraries in Europe at over 400 years old. Founded by Sir Thomas Bodley, the library's world-leading collection includes a copy of the Magna Carta, a Gutenberg Bible and a first edition of Don Quixote. As you look up at the Bodleian, you may hear passing scholars refer to it as 'the Bodley' or simply 'the Bod'. (pass by)
- This neoclassical building housed the Oxford University Press until the early 19th century. Today, the Clarendon Building is part of the Bodleian Library and is used for administrative purposes. The building is topped with nine statues, some of which have fallen down over the centuries and were replaced with fibreglass copies. See if you can spot the statue of Lord Clarendon. (pass by)
- Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the Sheldonian Theatre is an iconic example of English Baroque architecture. Look up at the fabulous ceiling fresco, painted by Robert Streater, which imitates an Roman theatre open to the sky. (pass by)
- This iconic skyway, also known as the Hertford Bridge, links the old and new Quadrangles of Hertford College. It's named after the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, and while it's not open to the public, you'll often see students of the college crossing through. Make sure to take a snap of this striking landmark and one of Oxford's most popular sights. (pass by)
-
Step inside the Divinity School, and explore at your own pace with a self-guided audio tour. Hear the history behind the vaulted ceiling and the Harry Potter filming of this iconic site, which was a teaching hall as well as an exam room.
