he High Street in Oxford runs between Carfax, generally recognized as the centre of the city, and Magdalen Bridge to the east.The street has been described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the world's great streets". It forms a gentle curve and is the subject of many prints, paintings, photographs, etc. The vista looking west towards Carfax with University College on the left and Queen's College on the right is an especially popular view. There are many historical buildings on the street, including Oxford University buildings and colleges. Locally the street is often known as The High.Queen's Lane Coffee House (in the junction with Queen's Lane) was established in 1654 and is probably Oxford's first coffee house.
