Little Clarendon Street

Little Clarendon Street

Little Clarendon Street is a short shopping street in central Oxford. It runs east-west between the foot of the Woodstock Road to the east and Walton Street to the west. It forms one of three notable streets in North Oxford off the Woodstock Road where the variety of shops and cafes make them particularly trendy and bohemian places, the other two being North Parade and South Parade. The street is sometimes nicknamed Little Trendy Street.
