The Radcliffe Camera
The Camera now contains two reading rooms as part of the Bodleian Library, mainly used by undergraduates. Beneath the lawn to the north is an underground book-store, built in 1912, connected with the Camera, and, by a subway, with the Old Library.

After a further few hundred yards at another set of traffic lights (the Kings Arms on your left), continue straight across the junction into Catte Street. At the end of Catte Street, there is a barrier, through which you will be escorted.
