[1] To the west is the southern end of the Banbury Road with St Giles' Church opposite.
On the south side for much of its length is the Victorian brick Keble College, and in particular, its large chapel on the corner with Parks Road.
Opposite this to the north is a row of Victorian terrace houses owned by the University of Oxford.
The houses nearest Parks Road (numbers 6–11) were converted into the Oxford University Computing Laboratory (OUCL), now the Department of Computer Science, with its newer Wolfson Building added behind in 1993, and the Oxford e-Science Building in 2006 (both in Parks Road).
A blue plaque commemorating James Legge (1815–1897), Sinologist and translator, first Professor of Chinese at Oxford, was unveiled at 3 Keble Road, on 16 May 2018.
