“An innovative space for clients and non-customers, which brings a bank, co-working area and coffee house together in a single place.”

And that’s your new work cafe by a bank. Interesting.
After a full-on month which has taken us to Aberdeen, Blackburn, Blackpool, Brynmawr, Ebbw Vale, Tredegar and Crewe, time for a walk-see of my nearest city.
On what was a sunny pre-bank holiday Friday, Oxford was being its busy student, tourist, shopper, food & drink self.
Always things to learn, new businesses joining the #retail, #hospitality, services mix, noticeably (and maybe something that’s not that common everywhere) quite a few moving to try different locations, and its rolling programme of street scene changes (of which more another time).
It’s somehow at once a unique city that has much happening we see in other places. And a reminder – on a day when positive #placemaking has had to put up with another dose of media ‘ghost town’ nonsense – that what’s really happening out there is #highstreet evolving.
Or is it just me…?
