Tour guides Devika and Oliver talk with a group of people attending an 'Uncomfortable Oxford' tour outside the College of All Souls, in Oxford, on October 20, 2023. British universities Oxford and Cambridge are constantly ranked among the best in the world and celebrated for their academic excellence. But the murkier corners of their pasts are now being brought to life for tourists, as the country grapples with its problematic colonial past. "This is not the standard walking tour," warns guide and student Claire McCann, before leading her group onto the cobbled streets of Oxford, which attract some seven million visitors every year.
