Hythe Bridge Street

Hythe Bridge Street

Hythe Bridge Street is in the west of central Oxford, England, forming part of the A4144. It links Botley Road (A420) to the east (at the junction with Hollybush Row, which continues becoming Oxpens Road) and Worcester Street (also the A4144) at the western end leading north, at the junction with George Street (blocked to traffic). Parallel to Hythe Bridge Street to the south is Park End Street.

To the north at the eastern end of the street is Worcester College, one of the colleges of Oxford University. To the north at the western end is Beaver House, which contains the head office of Blackwell's Booksellers, the leading academic bookseller in Oxford, also with further shops countrywide. The Centre for International Education is at 39–42 Hythe Bridge Street. The Bridge is a night club at No. 6–9. There are also a number of restaurants and other shops in the street. It forms a part of the main arterial route into central Oxford from the west and as such is normally very busy with traffic.

Hythe Bridge, a flat late 19th century cast iron bridge on Hythe Bridge Street, spans the Castle Mill Stream, a backwater of the River Thames. Just to the northeast is the southern end of the Oxford Canal. This used to continue south of Hythe Bridge Street to a basin that is now filled in to form a car park.
