Luggage storageCarfax Tower

Carfax Tower stands at the historic crossroads in the heart of Oxford, United Kingdom, and is the remaining fragment of the medieval church of St Martin. Its name comes from the Old French for crossroads, reflecting its position where St Aldate's, Cornmarket, Queen Street and the High meet. The stone tower dates back to medieval times and has long served as a visible landmark marking the city centre.

Visitors climb a compact spiral of steps to the top for sweeping views over Oxford’s “dreaming spires,” making it a favourite for photos and city orientation. Beyond the views, Carfax Tower is a practical meeting point and historic reference from which distances around Oxford were once measured, giving it ongoing cultural and navigational significance in the city.
