Ornamented tower designed by Christopher Wren and completed in the 17th century, housing the Great Tom bell and serving as a gateway to Christ Church College. Tom Tower is located centrally within Oxford so is easy to find, and will surely impress visitors with its impressive presence and architectural detail. Tours around the college are available for a fee, I was happy to admire it from outside while passing by.

Historical & Landmark building Tom's Tower is unmissable both in the sense that you must come and visit it but also because it is so central you will definitely pass in front whilst you are visiting Oxford. It is a bell tower in the centre of town and is named like this as it is right above Tom Gate, St Aldates. It is also the main entrance to Christ Church College. It was designed by Christopher Wren built in the 17th century around 1681–1682). This is an iconic landmark & is well worth your time!
