Cornmarket Street

Cornmarket Street is one of the main streets in the centre of Oxford. It runs from north to south, from St Giles, to become St Aldate's a little lower. All of Cornmarket is pedestrianised- it is a nice wide street for shopping and eating. Most of the buildings are very old, like this medieval house, which seems to be falling and looks like its wooden structure no longer holds it, but it was completely renovated and is now a Pret a Manger, a fast food restaurant. You can find all the major brands here, McDonald's, KFC, bookstores, record stores, Starbucks, and The Clarendon Centre is a large shopping centre at the height of the Carfax Tower.
