Carfax Junction

At the convergence of High Street, Cornmarket Street, Queen Street, and St. Aldgate’s, Carfax Junction serves as a central meeting point in Oxford. Dominating this bustling intersection is the lofty St. Martin’s Tower, also known as Carfax Tower. Visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of the city, often referred to as the ‘city of dreaming spires.’ The tower’s vantage point provides a unique perspective on the historic and academic landscape of Oxford, making it a notable feature of the junction.
