Little Clarendon St
Little Clarendon St is a charming location for a range of boutique shops, as well as some lovely restaurants and bars. This is well worth a visit during Christmas time as the decorations and lights really bring out the soul of Oxford.

Interesting Facts
There is some real history here. The first recorded name for the present street is Black Boy Lane. This seems to date from the Civil War when royalist innkeepers gave significant names to their houses. The Black Boy was the family nickname for the young Charles II because of his dark hair and skin.
