Or the "Bird and Babe" as the Inklings called it.
And what visit to Oxford would be complete without a visit to this pub. Famous for being the favourite drinking spot of the JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis, along with some other friends, as the self-titled Inklings. The pub is OK, but the attraction (well to this Tolkien nerd anyway) is to sit in the Rabbit Room, where Tolkien would read out his just written chapters of Lord of the Rings for feedback from his confidants.

Very nice looking pub, though I would have made the odd call of "Boring!" had I been there when Tolkien was Talkin'...
