Magdalen Street
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magdalen Street is a short shopping street in central Oxford, England.
At the southern end, Magdalen Street meets Cornmarket Street continuing to the south, Broad Street to the east and George Street to the west. At the northern end it continues as St Giles' to the north, with Beaumont Street to the west. To the west are shops. The street used to be the location of Oxford's leading department store for many years, Elliston & Cavell's. It later became a Debenhams store. On the northern corner with Beaumont Street is the Randolph Hotel, widely considered to be Oxford's leading hotel.
To the east is a historic church, St Mary Magdalen. Beyond that is Little Clarendon Street and Balliol College. North of the church is the Martyrs' Memorial, commemorating the Oxford Martyrs.
