Parks Road

At the northern end, the road runs alongside the University Parks,[3] hence its name.

The Oxford University Computing Laboratory is opposite the Parks on the corner with Keble Road.

[5] The Oxford University Museum of Natural History is on the east side of Parks Road opposite Keble College.

The right hand half of the grass area in front of the museum has a large basement reading room for the library underneath it.

At the southern end are the Weston Library, opened in 2015 after being transformed internally from the 20th-century New Bodleian Library building, on the corner with Broad Street to the west and the King's Arms public house on the corner with Holywell Street to the east.
