Lonely Planet review for Christ Church College
Oxford’s 38 colleges are scattered around the city. The grandest is Christ Church College, founded in 1525 and now massively popular with Harry Potter fans, having appeared in several of the films. The main entrance to the college is below Tom Tower (1682), designed by Christopher Wren and containing Great Tom, a 6.35-tonne bell. Visitors should enter farther down St Aldate’s via the wrought-iron gates of the War Memorial Gardens and Broadwalk. The college chapel is Oxford Cathedral, the smallest in the country.
