Oxford!

England, it seems, is the magical world of literature. I approve. The town of Oxford in particular is the birthplace of such fantastic works of literature as Alice in Wonderland, The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many more, as well as the setting for The Golden Compass, and inspiration for some of the set designs in the Harry Potter films. This place is a geek's paradise.


This here is the Eagle and Child Pub, where early fantasy writers such as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien often met to discuss their writing. *geek out*




The dining hall at Christchurch College.
Inspiration for the dining hall of Hogwarts, though sadly lacking in actual magic.
