Nestled in the heart of Oxford, Alice's Shop is a delightful piece of literary history that brings the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland to life. This charming shop, located just across from Alice's childhood home, Christ Church College, was once a sweet shop frequented by the real Alice over 150 years ago. It even made its way into Lewis Carroll's enchanting tales, with Sir John Tenniel illustrating it in *Through the Looking-Glass*. Imagine stepping into a place where an entire episode of Alice's adventures unfolded.
Oxford holds a special place in the story of Alice in Wonderland, with many of Carroll's inspirations stemming from this historic city. Alice's Shop stands as a tangible connection to the Victorian era and the magical world Carroll created. When you walk through its doors, you're not just entering a shop; you're stepping back in time to experience a piece of literary magic firsthand.
While you're in Oxford, take a stroll along the picturesque River Thames or explore the stunning architecture of the university's colleges. The city is a treasure trove of history and culture, waiting to be discovered.
