- Most of the old ones. There's some nice new architecture too - Nuffield College and the new parts of Magdalen College are very well done. The view across Oxford from Christ Church Meadows is very nice and quite famous, worth a look if you're visiting. St Mary's Church is a well-known landmark, you can climb the tower and have a look around.
- The Laura Ashley building on Cornmarket. Tudor style.
- The tudor Laura Ashey building on queen street.
- Radcliffe Camera - it's Fucking Sweet!
- Radcliffe camera, the building Laura Ashley is in, most of the older colleges (and the newer ones if concrete is your thing)
- Westgate Centre car park. Sadly its the only building in Oxford with anything real about it. It does what it says on the tin and isnt some jumped up alternative/musical/expensive/exclusive cafe/bar/restaurant/club/society/shop.
- st catz, modest yet impressive, coherent yet interesting
- Covered Market - nice to see it doesn't have to be all Starbucks and Boots!
- hard to chose reaaly most builings in Oxford are nice
- All of it. The most beautiful city centre architecture to be found anywhere. When I was growing up, I dismissed it. After 8 years away from the place, I now realise how beautiful it is.
- Dan's house.
- The Radcliffe Camera, because it really is stunning and memorable. On a misty morning, you can almost believe in "the romance of Oxford," as the calendars say.
- Covered Market
- wadham
- The crumbling blackened eccentric red brick victorian building with the little white statuettes and balconies over the river. It's by Folly bridge and it rocks
- Bury Knowle House in Bury Knowle Park in Headington in Oxford
- My college; St Catherine's on Manor Road.
- St Catherine's College (I didn't go there!), for it's complete vision, strength and subletey.
- The Turf - most tourists cant find it :-)
- All the old university colleges. Very picturesque. Shame you gotta be super rich to actually get in to em.
- Radcliffe Camera
- The most beautiful building in Oxford is the Town Hall. Go inside it if you get a chance. The council debating chamber is spectacular and far too good for local politicians.
- The Bridge of Sighs
The Radcliffe Camera
Christ Church cathedral
- Teddy Hall
- the Radcliffe Camera because it looks like part of the female anatomy
- The Colleges collectively even though they wont let me in.
- My college!, Oriel, very picturesque!
- The building currently housing the Laura Ashley store on Cornmarket Street! It looks like one of the many places where Shakespeare is said to have been born!
