St Aldate's, Oxford

[3] The street runs south from the generally acknowledged centre of Oxford at Carfax.

St Aldate's Church is on the west side of the street, in Pembroke Square.

[4] South of Christ Church is an entrance to Christ Church Meadow and, still on the east side, the University of Oxford's Faculty of Music, containing the Bate Collection of Musical Instruments; the building was opened in 1936 for St Catherine's Society.

Oxford's police station (designed by H. F. Hurcombe, the City Estates Surveyor, and completed in 1936)[1] and the Oxford Combined Court Centre (designed by Henry Smith and completed in 1932)[5] opposite precede a junction with Thames Street to the west.

After Folly Bridge over the River Thames or Isis, St Aldate's enters Grandpont and becomes Abingdon Road (A4144), leading directly south out of the city of Oxford towards the Oxford Ring Road and the villages of Kennington and Radley and the town of Abingdon.
