Catte Street - Location

Location

Catte Street runs north-south, continuing as Parks Road to the north (at a junction with Broad Street and Holywell Street). The street passes along the eastern side of Radcliffe Square and forms a junction with the High Street to the south.

At the northern end to the west is the Clarendon Building on Broad Street, with the Sheldonian Theatre nearby. Just to the south is the Bodleian Library. To the east are the Modern History Faculty (formerly the Indian Institute building), Oxford's Bridge of Sighs in New College Lane and Hertford College.

Further south to the east is All Souls, an Oxford college with fellows but no undergraduate students. To the west at the southern end are the Radcliffe Camera and University Church of St Mary the Virgin, the main church of the University, on the High Street.

The street has been pedestrianised as a pavement at the south by the junction with the High Street since 1973.
