Cheap Places to Eat in Galloway

"Those who do, however, will love Atomic Burger, two nostalgic, Cowley-Road burger joints where every surface is covered in jigsaws, stuffed toys, posters and bric-a-brac on a sci-fi, 1980s pop, TV and superhero theme. Luckily, the burgers (the menu is huge) are far more up to date, without quite rivalling the quality found at Britain’s best new-wave burger specialists. There was a lot to like in my Dead Elvis: the juicy patty had a good beef flavour and was nicely char-grilled (these things are not a given), the Swiss and plasticky US cheese worked well together, the bacon was stridently tasty and the super-sweet, gently fried onions were ace."

"Sometimes you want to forego all the fancy stuff and just stuff your face. Enter Atomic Burger, where the menu of burgers, fries, shakes and sides will satisfy your cravings - don’t miss the Bacon Milkshake."

"Headstone Manor and Museum, or Harrow Museum, is a local history museum for London's Borough of Harrow. The Harrow Museum has four historic buildings on site which together comprise Headstone Manor, which was built in 1310. To this date, Headstone Manor is still surrounded by a moat, which is the only surviving moat with water in it in all of Middlesex."

"From St Michael's it is a very short stroll to the Verulamium Museum, a modern museum showcasing finds from the Roman city. One highlight is a 2nd-century bronze figure of a goddess known as the Verulamium Venus, and another is 'Postumus', a skeleton discovered buried in a beautifully crafted lead coffin. A short walk across Verulamium Park from the museum brings you to a 3rd-century mosaic and hypocaust, protected by a low modern building."

"The Roman Theatre of Verulamium is an ancient excavated theatre built around 140 AD. It’s unique in that it’s not an amphitheatre, as was commonly built during Roman times. But rather, it resembles a design similar to a modern theatre, with a raised stage."

"Keble is one of the larger colleges at Oxford and is distinctive among the colleges for its neo-gothic brick buildings. It was designed by William Butterfield and built in 1870. While the brick design has always been controversial, it makes for a strikingly different college that is impressive to see."

"Keeble looks different to the other Oxford colleges with their golden stone. Keble is built with red brick and is spread across large, open ground. It has less of a cosy feel than some of the others but is visually just as striking."

"One of the wealthiest and most exclusive colleges at Oxford, All Souls is a beautiful place and a treat to see. This college was founded in 1438 by Henry VI of England and Henry Chichele, the Archbishop of Canterbury. All Souls College has a gorgeous library, which is not usually open to the public, but visiting the college chapel and quadrangles is free from 2-4pm on weekdays and Sundays."

"One of Oxford’s wealthiest and most tranquil colleges, All Souls was founded as a centre of prayer and learning in 1438. Much of its facade dates from that era, while the smaller Front Quad has remained largely... College in City Centre"

"Perfect for older children, the Pitt Rivers Museum is a great place to go to see some really unique artifacts that you won’t find anywhere else in Oxford. There are shrunken heads, fascinating masks from all over the world, toys from different countries and some clothing from royalty that is sure to impress your history-loving kids. As the Pitt Rivers Museum is more of a traditional museum layout with artifacts and signs to read, this one is best left to curious kids who are old enough to appreciate this."

"You could stay busy all day in Oxford without leaving the Pitt Rivers Museum. Housed in one of the biggest and most impressive buildings in Oxford on Parks Road, it’s stocked to the brim with artefacts from different time periods and civilisations around the world. Including masks from Mexico and pottery from Pakistan, it’s all here."

"If exploring an enormous room full of eccentric and unexpected artefacts sounds like your idea of the perfect afternoon, welcome to the amulets-to-zithers extravaganza that is the Pitt Rivers museum."
