Eagle & Child
St. Giles’, Oxford OX1 - England, UK
   Share  
 
 
This pub will be top of the list for a number of literary pilgrims to Oxford. Famed as the meeting place of the ‘Inklings’, a group of writers including JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis between the years 1939 and 1962, the ancient inn attracts tourists from around the world. The famous ‘Rabbit Room’ at the back of the pub was the location for the group’s regular Tuesday morning drinks and discussions about their latest works. This room still survives and has several commemorative plaques explaining the history. More recently the pub was a favoured watering hole of Inspector Morse creator Colin Dexter.
