Bear Lane is a short but historic street in central Oxford, England. The lane is located just north of Christ Church. It runs between the junction of Blue Boar Street and Alfred Street to the west, and King Edward Street and the north of Oriel Square to the east.
The south side of Bear Lane faces the back of Christ Church's Peckwater Quad whilst the north side opens onto a sizeable accommodation complex belonging to Lincoln College. The complex, known to students simply as Bear Lane, houses over a hundred students and reaches all the way to High Street. The site was inherited by the College from Emmelina Carr in 1436.1
The Bear is a historic public house located on the corner of Alfred Street at the western end, dating back to 1242. A unique feature of this pub is a large collection of tie snippets displayed on its walls and even its ceiling.
Note that, historically, Alfred Street was named Bear Lane in the 17th and 18th centuries.
