St Giles'

St Giles' is the wide boulevard leading north from the centre of Oxford. At its southern end it continues as Magdalen Street where Beaumont Street meets it from the west; at its northern end it splits into Woodstock Road on the left and Banbury Road on the right. Pusey Street meets the west side halfway along. Like the rest of North Oxford, much of the street is owned by St John's College.

At the northern end stands St Giles' Church, originating from the 12th century, with the main Oxford War Memorial in its churchyard. Working from north to south on the east side: the Lamb & Flag (formerly a coaching inn), St John's College, the Oxford Internet Institute at No. 1 St Giles', Balliol College and Trinity College. Just behind the east side, where the Banbury and Woodstock roads divide, once stood Balliol Hall — the rooms in which A. E. Clarke began lessons in September 1877 at the school that became the Dragon School, which moved to Crick Road within two years and to Bardwell Road in 1895.

The west side runs, north to south, from the International Study Centre of d'Overbroeck's College, past St Benet's Hall, the Theology Faculty, the Oxford Quaker Meeting House and the Eagle and Child — where Tolkien, C. S. Lewis and the Inklings met, and at No. 42 the register office where Lewis married Joy Davidman in 1956; the building is now a dental practice — through Regent's Park College, Pusey House and St Cross College, Blackfriars, and the Taylor Institution, with the Ashmolean Museum immediately behind (its main entrance on Beaumont Street). At the southern end the boulevard ends at the Martyrs' Memorial (1843), commemorating the Oxford Martyrs of 1555–56.
