Later Uses of The Site
A large Lyons Corner House restaurant was later built on the site of the old Oxford. From 1979, this much-modified building was occupied by the first Virgin Megastore, which was rebranded as Zavvi in 2007 and closed its stores in 2009. In September 2012 a branch of the budget fashion retailer Primark opened on the site.
For a 1944 film, Champagne Charlie, the stage and bar of the Oxford during the 1860s was recreated with the lion comique and 'top of the bill' Alfred Vance played by Stanley Holloway.
