The current layout of the market dates from the 18th Century although a market has existed in Oxford since at least the 12th Century. The covered market was created due to a desire to move stalls off the busy streets and into one central area. |

It may seem unbelievable that this area once contained over a hundred stalls but originally the shops were much smaller with tiny fronts. Only a few shops remain in the market at the original size. There are now around 60 shops in the market. There is a mix of food shops (butchers, grocers, delicatessens, etc), places to eat (cafes, sandwich shops, etc), and shops (clothing, shoes, florists, gifts, etc). It is possible to enter the Covered Market from one of a number of entrances on the [[Locale High Street|High Street]], through [[Locale Golden Cross|Golden Cross]], and from a couple of entrances on [[Locale Market Street|Market Street]].

The Covered Market lies at the heart of Oxford city centre, between Cornmarket Street and Turl Street. It contains a variety of shops, from sandwich shops and cafés to butchers, grocers and fishmongers, clothes shops, and many others. There's an odd mixture of town, gown and tourists here. Shops tend to the pricy side, but not sufficiently to outweigh the convenience of this central location, and there's always something new to discover. address='' category='Locales' edit_type='Normal edit' |
