Welcome to Lady Margaret Hall
With the Oxford Open Doors theme this year being 'Everyday Histories: Exploring daily working life through the ages’, we’ve pulled out of the archives a few interesting articles.
Our Library is open today and features an exhibition on “Myth, Magic and Fantasy”.
We also hope you find time to enjoy a walk around our gardens to connect with nature. Biodiversity Tour guides are available here, or you can borrow one from the Lodge.
You can download a map of the College via the link below.
We hope you enjoy your visit!
