Almost directly opposite the equally stylish Whistles is where you'll find Oxford's branch of this popular and classy high-street store. The emphasis at Jigsaw is on providing well-cut, well-made clothing in natural fabrics, which falls somewhere between designer chic and high-street value. You'll pay more for clothes in here than you might expect to on the high street, but for that, you're guaranteed to look the business. Sleek plain silk dresses, linen trousers and skirts are displayed on rails arranged by color around a long narrow room. Cotton tops and soft angora pullovers are centered on broad tables.
Queen Street, with its restricted accessibility for cars, is a shopping street located in the heart of the city. Adjoining Cornmarket Street, High Street and St Aldate's, the street reflects its historic past in every corner. It used to be known as "the Bailey" due to its close proximity with the Bailey Castle and as "Butcher Row" due to cattle slaughtering and trade of meat on the streets.
Among many notable streets in Oxford, High Street is one of them. The street is flanked with many significant houses and avenues of historic importance. Linking Carfax from the city center to Magdalen Bridge, this street is recounted by the famous British scholar Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the world's great streets". The street is also home to the city's oldest coffee house - Queen's Lane Coffee House.
