Oxford Markets
The main market in Oxford, is the city centre, Covered Market, but there are a few others around the city that might be of interest to visitors. Details are listed below.
The Covered Market The Covered Market can be found at the heart of Oxford city centre just off the Cornmarket Street. There are several entrances to the Covered Market the easiest to find being the one next to Starbucks on Cornmarket Street. The Covered Market was designed by John Gwynn, who also designed Magdalen Bridge and was built in 1774. Originally the Covered Market only sold meat with approximately 40 butchers stalls. Today there is a wide range of shops and cafes and the market is as popular with Oxford locals going about their daily business as with tourists.
