Iffley Road

It leads from the Plain, near Magdalen Bridge, southeast towards the village of Iffley.

The road is the location for the Oxford University athletics venue, the Iffley Road Track, where Roger Bannister was the first person to run a mile in under four minutes, on 6 May 1954.

Also in Iffley Road is Greyfriars, a Capucin priory that was formerly a permanent private hall of the University of Oxford.

There are a number of public houses including the Cape of Good Hope at the Plain and 1 Iffley Road,[1] the Cricketers' Arms, now a cocktail bar renamed The Mad Hatter in 2013, and the Fir Tree Tavern.

Oliver offers his own bicycle to Felix so he may proceed to his tutorial class on Iffley Road.
