Oxford Pubs

Oxford is famous for offering an Education in Intoxication. The citys historic and picturesque pubs have been frequented by countless visitors, ranging from local students to movie stars such as Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Home to some of the finest ales in Britain, Oxford is a must for any connoisseur of ale or fan of the traditional English pub. From the famous riverside to the outskirts of the city centre, the author provides an indispensable guide to Oxfords pubs. The book is filled with fascinating stories and photographs that illustrate why these establishments deserve to be on all discerning drinkers must-visit lists. For instance, did you know some of Oxfords pubs were once home to exotic animals, perhaps most bizarrely a shark?
