It is the oldest bookstore in Oxford University. The appearance is inconspicuous but the inside is very spacious. The layout is also very British. Of course, the most popular is the Harry Potter series, the &quot;Lord of the Rings&quot; series by Oxford professor John Tolkien. Professor C. S. Lewis of Oxford, The Legend of Narnia

For a few pounds you can climb to the top of the tower and enjoy the 360-degree view of Oxford, the beautiful long strips and the southern city. The church porch was built for four or five hundred years and its spiral columns are a major innovation in British architectural history.
