City of Dreaming Spires

Oxford is a nice small town just outside London. It's most famous for its ancient university, which is probably the best in the UK.

The weather when we visited was alright then, just a bit gloomy because of the clouds. There were a lot of old university buildings around the town. The dome structure here is similar to the one in Edinburgh, probably also used for graduation ceremonies.

We went up to a tower within a churh building to get a better view of the town. Indeed it looks nice, especially because there are no skyscrappers, unlike in London where the view from the top is often blocked by tall buildings.

The university buildings seem disconnected from each other and each have distinct names. For example, here is ChristChurch college, one of the largest among them.
