It runs east-west between the south end of Woodstock Road opposite St Giles' Church to the east, Somerville College to the north and Walton Street to the west. It forms one of three notable streets in North Oxford off the Woodstock Road where the variety of shops and cafés make them particularly trendy and bohemian places, the other two being North Parade and South Parade. The street is sometimes nicknamed Little Trendy Street.[1][2] Its trendiness was already apparent in the 1960s.[3]As of 2006, the following buildings can be found on the street (this list is not definitive): - North side (east to west)
