UK Day 4 | I Went to Oxford So You Don’t Have to Guess—It’s Worth It!

Another perfectly sunny day ☀️—time for a spontaneous trip to Oxford! Today felt like going to magic school 🎒✨ 🚄 London Marylebone ➡️ Oxford Direct train: 1h 20min (depart 11:40 – arrive 13:00). Frequent trains available. 💰 Open return: £43.12 for 2 people (with Two Together Railcard) 🗺️ My Half-Day Route: 1️⃣ Christ Church Limited access these days 😢—didn’t go in, but wandered around outside. Next time, Hogwarts dining hall! 📅 Limited Apr 30–May 1 | Closed May 2 | Reopens May 3—book ahead online! 2️⃣ High Street Lovely stroll among historic buildings and cute shops 🏛️🛍️ 3️⃣ Magdalen College 🚶‍♀️ Walked from Christ Church along High Street 🎫 £9.5 per person (bought on-site) Known as Oxford’s most beautiful college—like a giant garden 🌷🦌 with a deer park! Also has a “Hogwarts dining hall” vibe inside 🧙✨ 4️⃣ Bodleian Library Not open to visitors, but super cute from the outside! 📚📸 5️⃣ University Church of St Mary the Virgin Right next to the library—climb the tower for amazing views! 🎫 £6 per person 💨 Windy up there—hold onto your hats!! 😅 6️⃣ Bridge of Sighs Quick but classic photo spot 📸❤️ 7️⃣ Dinner at Thaikhun Pretty good Thai food! Pad Thai was okay, but the Chili Squid was tender and sweet—highly recommended! 🦑🌶️ 8️⃣ Bicester Village 🕘 Mon–Sat: 9:00–20:00 🛍️ Not everything is on sale at lululemon, but I scored a 60% off Scuba—so happy! 🧥💃 💡 Pro Tips: The train from Oxford back to London stops at Bicester!
