King Edward Street
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King Edward Street is a street running between the High Street to the north and Oriel Square to the south in central Oxford, England.
To the east is the "Island" site of Oriel College, one of the colleges of Oxford University. To the west are shops, including Shepherd & Woodward, the leading University outfitters, fronting onto the High Street.
King Edward Street is officially designated as part of the A420 road due to the blockage of the High Street to normal traffic.
The street was only created in 1873, so it is much wider than other older streets off the High Street.
