Cool places to shop


Liscious, 125 Walton Street, Oxford, OX2 6AH


I spent Wednesday wandering aimlessly around Oxford although this turned into wading as the afternoon progressed and the heavens opened.

One of the more interesting shops was Liscious, 5-10 minutes north of the main shopping centre. It sells a great combination of secondhand furniture both old style and updated (reupholstered, re-painted etc.) and vintage clothing. Lured in by the vast dolls house in the window (about the size of Blenheim palace in dolls house terms) and funky upholstery it really is a bit different.

The white floorboards of the shop floor go both upwards and downwards, backwards and forwards and you wind up the staircase stumbling into an area complete with mobile phone charging and erected ironing board that looks like someones living room perhaps it was an installation or perhaps it really was someones home.
