Fantastic brunch and pastries
The most delicious coffee is at the Columbia Coffee Roasters in Summertown, recently voted best coffee shop in Oxford.
GAIL'S is a chain of bakeries from London. There's a garden round the back, and they serve delicious brunch/cooked breakfasts. The pastries are fantastic. Sour cherry and chocolate scones, cinnamon roll made from croissant dough and hot buttered cheese scone are my favourites.
Joe's is a brasserie favourite for a wide range of breakfast options and a reasonably priced daily lunch menu. Get there early or lunch specials might run out!

Oxford's largest and most grandiose college. It's the college of Lord Sebastian Flyte from Brideshead Revisited, Evelyn Waugh's celebrated novel set partly in Oxford. Key scenes from Harry Potter and The Golden Compass were filmed here.

Britain's oldest museum, a smaller version of the British Museum. Art and ancient antiquities in serious abundance. Amazing. Lovely rooftop restaurant for special occasions, and basement coffee shop with terrific selection of cakes, coffees and teas.

If you're a Harry Potter fan, New College (the quad and gardens especially) is a must-see. The chapel is also a great place to hear choral evensong.
