What User doesn't like about The Eagle And Child:
Eagle and Child Oxford, England. C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien both drank here, sometimes together. These are only two examples of the famous characters that came to this pub in the past. Aside from that, it is a lot of character going for it and should be tried because of it The Eagle and Child is a large pub with a lot going for it architecturally.

I don 't know where the idea came from that Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings here it 's nonsense.

The place where Tolkien and CS.Lewis and other writers meet and talk about their works. Unfortunally the place is now closed.

Eagle and Child in Oxford, England, is a historic pub frequented by literary legends like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Despite its iconic status, the pub could use a makeover and better upkeep. The atmosphere is cozy, especially in the old section, but the service and cleanliness fall short. The food is decent, with a variety of pies and cakes on offer. It's worth a visit for the history and charm, but be prepared for crowds of tourists. Overall, Eagle and Child offers a unique experience for fans of Tolkien and Lewis, with some room for improvement in other areas.
