Attraction Introduction
Officially founded by King Henry VIII in 1546, the college is most renowned for its magnificent Great Dining Hall, which served as inspiration for and was used as a filming location for Hogwarts' Great Hall in the Harry Potter film series. Another unique aspect is that it also serves as the cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Oxford, making it the only institution in the world to hold both college and cathedral status. The college boasts Tom's Court, the largest courtyard in Oxford University, Tom's Tower designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and an art gallery housing works by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci. Notable alumni include Lewis Carroll, author of *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland*, and several British Prime Ministers.
How to Get There
Oxford is about a 1-hour train ride from London Paddington Station. The college is located in St Aldate's in the city center, about a 20-minute walk from Oxford Station. It is recommended to allow 1.5 to 2 hours for your visit.
Travel Tips
Tickets need to be purchased online in advance, and during peak season, tickets often sell out on-site.
