After sitting unused for almost 3 decades, the 1950's Military Control Tower has been restored as a visitor centre and community cafe. Run by volunteers, you can see the history of the tower, visit our observation deck and enjoy drinks and snacks in the cafe. ** Please be aware due to the current Covid19 restrictions our cafe is operating as take-away only and we are offering limited guided tours of the tower. Please see the website for details. **

Andy gave us a very enjoyable walk whilst imparting his knowledge, enthusiasm and interesting insights into the recent history of the Common. After it’s recent military use, it is wonderful to see how much work has gone into making this area so wonderful for so many people - dog walkers, park runners, family groups and leisure cyclists to name but a few. The Control Tower is a great experience with plenty of information, a super cafe and very friendly volunteers. Having the USAF memorials recently relocated there gives the area great poignancy.

Located in Carfax, the center of Oxford's shopping area since the medieval times, this tower is all that remains of the 14th-century Church of St Martin.

Turned up here on a Tuesday lunchtime. You just walk inside and the person at the desk will let you know when there is a free slot. We only had to wait about 20 mins until we could begin our 30 min slot. Steep spiral staircase is quite nerve wracking! I’m not one to be scared of heights but even I was a bit funny about these - I think perhaps because they were see-through (metal sort of grid-work) it made it more scary! Views at the top are amazing and well worth the climb! It’s nice that you have it all to yourself during your slot, so can move around freely and take photos. There is a telescope at the top that was great for people watching! We didn’t pay for this, so I assume it is free. Make sure you allow enough time within your slot to make your way back down! I would definitely recommend this, it was the highlight of our trip back to Oxford.

Visitors can also enjoy the Nyetimber Sky Bar, an exhibition on how BA i360 was built and beachside shop for beautiful and useful gifts.

As we were travelling quite a distance we timed our visit for a sunny day. This BA i 360 pod glides about 500' up a tower for pretty impressive views. Its situated on the old entrance to the now destroyed old pier and is a dominant feature on the Brighton seafront. We didnt have many people joining us so there was plenty of seating in the waiting area and we were through very quickly to 'board' complete with our BA flight tickets :-). Very smooth ride with plenty of chances to view from all angles, only thing is that the sun glare and curvature of the windows does nothing for any decent photos, but the experience is fun. You can see the Seven Sisters way in the distance. It would be helpful if, like the London Eye, small notices were placed around the rim of the pod so visitors could spot buildings a bit more easily - would have thought this was pretty obvious. Drinks were very expensive but they have a captive audience out for a fun time. We are very pleased to have made this trip and would recommend going - £16 each is pretty steep really and they do not have concessions which is surprising too. Think its cheaper online.
