----------------------------

I had to find an Oxford map to check. It was either Lincoln or Brasenose College, highly probably Lincoln, since I recall stepping out and being right on Turl Street, near a tiny gift shop. It's surprising, even when there were packed crowds on Cornmarket or Queen Street you could move as little as Turl or Holywell and have an almost deserted place to stroll (at least in April/May).

P.S. Oxford also has my favorite museum in England, Pitt Rivers.
