Historic Sites in Gibraltar

"I also loved passing the Bridge of Sighs and the 17th Century Sheldonian Theatre, designed by Sir Christopher Wren – a former student at the university. While I didn’t explore inside any of the universities on this visit, many are open to the public.

George and Danver opened in 2001 on the corner of Pembroke St. and St. Aldates and became enormously busy serving students, tourists, and locals alike. This expansion to the company also saw an expansion in size and seating space."

"Area: Little Clarendon Street, with other locations at St Aldates and Cowley Road. Sometimes a craving for ice cream hits, and in Oxford, there is only one place to go: G&D’s. There are a couple of locations around Oxford, but the Little Clarendon Street one is our favourite."
