I am REALLY enjoying these walks around Oxford. This is truly as close as I'll ever get to walking the streets myself. Great fun! Thanks!

[@peterperryman2800]

I used to dress a Menswear shop in Oxford (a million years ago) and last visited there in 2016 so this great walk brought back pleasant memories, thank you once again and greetings from South Australia.

[@spiffyspits3605]

!!! There's more bicycles & buses than there are cars in Oxford!!! That's what I call it a hub...Oxford Hub! Thank you so much for showing Oxford!

[@عرائسسلطاناتالجزائر]

Cars not allowed to run in that roads

[@phillipbateman2284]

Walking through memories has created an ache in my chest, and a renewed feeling of need to go home. Thanks for that, lovely and searching as it was. I cant go back, left it too late, and my home is where I am now, NZ and family. But will always miss Oxford. Take care.

[@WatchedWalker]

You're very welcome Phillip, greetings to NZ 😊

[@BoydXplorer]

I was so happy to see this ! We were last here in February 2019 to surprise my sister for her birthday . I know this walk so well it's almost like being there . I miss it so much , thank you ! 💕🇨🇦💕

[@LondonWalkbyLondonSocialite]

Lovely shopping centre. I love SCREEN shopping. haha... 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@MrTorleon]

Thank you for this absolutely splendid walk around my old town ! Most especially, for walking down Merton Street ( most walks pass it by ) to my old college, Merton College, 30+ years from undergrad to faculty member - since retired. For anyone interested, Thomas Bodley initiator and creator of the Bodleian Library was a Fellow of Merton College, and within the walls of Merton there is the oldest ( Medieval ) continuously functioning college library in the world ! With some humour, I remember it was hell riding a bike along Merton Street, surely one of the most uneven road surfaces in Oxford :) Thank you once again, a wonderful and super tour, very well done indeed.

[@WatchedWalker]

MrTorleon, you're so welcome, thanks for the info and your kind words!

My favourite place.I was born near the site of the shopping centre and have lived in Oxford all my life...I couldn't imagine living anywhere else although it's a very expensive place to live.

[@pagla0306]

Another lovely video of Oxford. You have covered quite a few colleges. I expected to see Christchurch college, but I guess it was out of your way. Looking forward to seeing more.

There is almost a whole arcade selling women's clothes, but they still go around dressed in the same 'classless society' blue jeans.
