The staff are welcoming and professional, the coffee and beer are top notch and the wide selection of events is a welcome and much needed addition to Oxford! There’s something for everyone whether you want to work in a chilled cafe environment, hang out, attend an awesome gig or shop for vintage clothes, records and books (yes there is even a hidden bookshop downstairs!) it can all be found at Common Ground!
