Angel & Greyhound Meadow, Oxford
Flood-meadow in Oxford, England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Angel & Greyhound Meadow, also known as Angel Meadow, is a flood-meadow adjoining the River Cherwell just north of Magdalen Bridge, Oxford, England and opposite Magdalen College.[1] It derives its name from the old Angel and Greyhound coaching inns in the High Street, for which it served as a horse-pasture.[2][3]
In 1991, the nearby pub in St Clement's previously named the Oranges & Lemons was acquired by Young's and renamed the Angel & Greyhound after the meadow. In 2025, following a further change of ownership, the pub returned to its old name Oranges & Lemons.[4]
The park is very low-lying, and often partially or completely flooded during February and March.
