Angel & Greyhound Meadow, Oxford

For Angel Meadow Park, Manchester, see St Michael's Flags and Angel Meadow Park.

The Angel & Greyhound Meadow, also known as Angel Meadow, is a flood-meadow adjoining the River Cherwell just north of Magdalen Bridge, Oxford, England and opposite Magdalen College. ^[1] It derives its name from the old Angel and Greyhound coaching inns in the High Street, for which it served as a horse-pasture. ^{[2] [3]}

In 1991, the nearby pub in St Clement's previously named the Oranges & Lemons was acquired by Young's and renamed the Angel & Greyhound after the meadow. In 2025, following a further change of ownership, the pub returned to its old name Oranges & Lemons. ^[4]

The park is very low-lying, and often partially or completely flooded during February and March.
