From the outside, Blackwell's looks quite small, although not as small as when it first opened in 1879 when only three people could fit in the shop! However, don't let its appearance prevent you from entering. Downstairs, the Norrington Room, with its 160,000 books, is the largest room in Europe devoted entirely to book sales. Blackwell's is almost guaranteed to have the book you're looking for, and if by any chance they haven't, they'll order it for you.

The Covered Market is a delightful place to wander around. It offers protection from the elements, but looks nothing like your average shopping center. The avenues here are crammed with small shops and cafes, and the products on offer are all of good quality. The shops sell everything from clothes and fresh pasta to books and boots: you'll find butcher's shops alongside souvenir shops and greengrocers. After all that shopping there are plenty of small cafes where you can relax and soak up the atmosphere.

If you're looking for a book on art, art history, architecture, craft, design or photography, don't even venture into the main Blackwell's shop unless of course you want to experience the full Blackwell's effect and the crowds that often go with it. The art bookshop has everything you could need. It's also a great place to browse if you just like looking at beautiful books; it is guaranteed to brighten up even the grayest of days. If they haven't got what you're looking for, they'll order it.

Alice's Shop Oxford is an endearing store selling local souvenirs, located in the St Aldate's neighborhood of the city.

She used to live at the nearby Christ Church, and is known to have inspired the all-time classic, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. This store, today, sells cute accessories like brooches, pendants, mirrors, bracelets, charms, earrings, etc and attracts numerous little girls. During Christmas, the shop sells an array of ornaments and Alice in Wonderland-themed figurines.
