The Head of the River
Folly Bridge, St Aldates, Oxford, OX1 4LB
About
A Fuller's pub with rooms in a converted riverside warehouse at Folly Bridge, where St Aldates meets the Thames. The terrace over the water, complete with a preserved cargo crane, is one of the busiest summer drinking spots in the city, and the bedrooms upstairs put you five minutes from Christ Church with the river cruise departures directly outside. Room types run from cosy doubles to family rooms; the pub kitchen handles breakfast and dinner. Light sleepers should note the terrace below on warm evenings.
