Oxfordshire Shopping
Alice’s Shop One of the most famous little shops in the world can be found in Oxford just across the road from Christ Church College. It was formerly frequented in Victorian times by Alice Liddell, the inspiration for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, who used to buy sweets there. She lived at Christ Church with her father Henry Liddell, who was Dean of the College and Cathedral. Alice’s Shop is one of the most tangible links to an entire episode in the Alice in Wonderland adventures and offers lovers of the stories a moment of intimate connection with the World of Alice as well as an insight into Carroll’s creation. The small shop was dubbed “Alice’s Shop” locally as soon as the stories became well known, even as it continued as a grocery shop. The Shop is now a treasure trove of Alice in Wonderland themed gifts, souvenirs and memorabilia. A: 83 St Aldates, Oxford, OX1 1RA T: (01865) 723 793 W: www.aliceinwonderlandshop.com
