The Neighbourhood

Jericho is a historic suburb of Oxford, a short walk from the city centre with its historic buildings, colleges, museums and shops. The neighbourhood has a range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, a cinema and bars and has an off-beat vibe. Many roads in Jericho have featured in the TV drama Inspector Morse. We recommend Gail's Bakery on Little Clarendon Street, the Jericho Café and Branca Italian Deli and Restaurant, both at the end of Observatory Street. The train station is just fifteen minutes walk away and the bus station around ten minutes walk.
