The best tastiest, moist falafels I've ever had! They get their special soft pita breads all the way from London, and the sauces and pickles/chili/chutney/salsa are not to be missed! Complete bargain and you can also buy the cooked falafel balls themselves to take away in large quantities for home use.

My beloved University years at Oxford make me very biased towards this beautiful town! However it does have more than stunning architecture. The Ashmolean Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, Blackwells Bookshop, the crepe stall, the Covered Market, and of course for Harry Potter fans: The Bodleian Library, Christ Church College, and other famous University of Oxford buildings used in the movies.
