Beaumont Street

The street was laid out from 1828 to 1837 with elegant terraced houses in the Regency style.

Before that, it was the location of Beaumont Palace, now noted by a plaque near the junction with Walton Street.

To the south is the Oxford Playhouse, designed by Sir Edward Maufe and built in 1938, where many university productions are held.

Oxford's foremost hotel, the Randolph, is on the corner with Magdalen Street, designed by William Wilkinson in the Victorian Gothic style and built in 1864.

[3] The British poet and translator Francis William Bourdillon mentions Beaumont Street in his poem "Gertrude's Love":[4] Just at the end of Beaumont Street, In front of Worcester walls, Strange shrieks of woe the passer greet, As every footstep falls.
