The Oxford Union
Entry is included, as and when the Oxford Union Victorian library is open. I always pre book entry, as soon as you book the tour but if you book at very short notice, this might not always be possible to get inside here.
This is where William Morris and Ed Burne Jones and their circle of friends designed the walls and then ceiling.
Entry fee worth £4 per person included.
Sometimes the librarian agrees to also show us the Oxford Union's famous debating chamber, where many presidents and prime ministers plus famous intellectuals have debated.
