The story

Story · Radcliffe Camera

  • en

You're standing on Radcliffe Square, right in the heart of Oxford, and in front of you is that round building with the big dome: the Radcliffe Camera. Students just call it the Rad Cam. Camera is Latin for chamber, so really it's the Radcliffe Room. Because it's round and stands completely on its own, it has become the picture everyone uses for the university.
