King's Arms, Oxford

food drink

The King's Arms stands out with its heavy, dark stone facade and the clusters of students and professors gathered on the sidewalk. Built in sixteen oh seven, it claims the title of the oldest public house in Oxford. Its location on the corner of Holywell Street places it right at the junction of the university and the city. For centuries, this building served as the meeting point where academics left their studies to debate the news of the day with local residents.
