The Oxford Union Society

Had me questioning my life decisions fr. Bartender looked like Prime Johnny Depp

I knew The Oxford Union for its famous debates, controversial debates sometimes I must say, but I was not aware of the beauty of the library.

The best time to come is a cloudy day or when it is getting dark outside.

Unfortunately, the Oxford Union restricts free expression and discourages voices of criticism. I don't think this is the true ideology of such a reputed university.

A great place to watch debates, with an excellent library and bar too. Generally you have to be a member, which means being in statu pupillari (i.e. studying at Oxford University, Ruskin, Brookes, and 4 other affiliated Oxford institutions). There are also other forms of membership, although I'd prefer not to disclose these. 🙂 If you want to go to the bar or library, then you can ask a member to allow you in.
