Welcome to the Linacre Common Room. Unlike other Oxford colleges, Linacre does not segregate fellows, staff and students. All members of Linacre are automatically members of the Common Room (CR) and share the same social space.
The bustling CR bar is where most of the activity is based. It is an ideal place for socialising with tea, coffee or something stronger. The bar is open at lunchtimes during the week (12:30 to 13:30 Monday – Friday) and every evening from 18:30 to 23:00.
Meet our Common Room team

Events and societies
In addition to providing a social space, the Common Room holds regular meetings, organises bops, enjoys an active calendar of social events and a offers a varied mix of sports and societies.
