Queen Street

Queen Street is the pedestrianised shopping link from Carfax to Bonn Square. Walk it as a practical westward connection through Oxford's retail centre, not as a college sight.

Why go

The street gives a direct transition from the old crossroads at Carfax to Bonn Square and the Westgate area. Its present shops sit on a route with older market history: butchers once traded here before meat sales shifted to the Covered Market. Use it to connect central sights with the western side of town.

What to look for

  • Carfax anchors the east end of the street.
  • Bonn Square and the Westgate approach mark its west end.

Useful to know

  • Walk west from Carfax towards Bonn Square for the Castle area or Westgate.
  • Allow for a busy retail thoroughfare rather than a quiet historic lane.
