Alice's Shop

"Alice’s Shop is a charming and iconic store associated with Lewis Carroll, the author of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking-Glass.” Lewis Carroll had a close connection to Oxford, as he was a mathematics lecturer at Christ Church College. It is believed that Lewis Carroll used to frequent this store, and it is thought to be the “Old Sheep Shop” mentioned in his stories. The shop gained its name and fame because it is said to be the place where Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Carroll’s Alice, used to shop. Lewis Carroll supposedly based his character of Alice on Alice Liddell, and the shop is considered part of the Wonderland lore. The shop is a delightful mix of a gift store and a mini-museum dedicated to “Alice in Wonderland.”"
