Bill Clinton, who served as the 42nd US President, maintains strong ties to Oxford. Oxford University awarded the former American leader an honorary degree in 1994, twelve months following his inauguration. During his time as a Rhodes Scholar at the Oxford institution between 1968 and 1970, he pursued studies in Philosophy, Politics and Economics before relocating to Yale to read law. During a 1992 campaign event, the sensitive topic of illicit substances arose, and he publicly admitted to having tried marijuana during his student years at the Oxford college. He claimed to have never violated any state legislation. However, while residing in England, he revealed he had sampled cannabis on a couple of occasions, describing the experience as unpleasant and stating he did not inhale the substance and never attempted it thereafter. The incident reportedly occurred at The Turf Tavern pub in Oxford, which now displays signage referencing the former president’s failure to inhale. The Greene King establishment proves popular among American visitors intrigued by its presidential connection and has been named the Oxford Mail’s Pub of the Week. Hillary Clinton was awarded an honorary degree in civil law by the university in 2021. The couple’s daughter Chelsea obtained her doctorate in international relations from Oxford in 2014. In 2003, Bill Clinton completed a Master of Philosophy degree in international relations at the university. In 2023, the former US President was observed in the vicinity of The Turf, outside The White Horse establishment on Broad Street. With its generous outdoor seating area, The Turf Tavern draws crowds during summer months, and when term concludes, tourists and residents fill the space typically occupied by students. Nestled in Bath Place, the establishment proves challenging to locate. Greene King stated that the venue has welcomed numerous celebrated patrons over the years. A spokesperson remarked that the Oxford pub carries a distinguished heritage, having first opened its doors in 1381. Throughout the centuries, it has served literary figures including CS Lewis alongside film stars such as Richard Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Its positioning can prove elusive, tucked down narrow passageways, though this merely enhances its appeal as an unassuming treasure worth uncovering. The family-oriented location suits dining admirably, presenting an extensive food selection featuring traditional fare, seasonal offerings and lavish sweet treats. Patrons can satisfy their thirst from the well-stocked bar, which provides a selection of twelve real ales, beers and quality wines. The expansive beer garden offers an ideal setting to enjoy summer sunshine, while covered heated sections cater for unexpected rainfall. The establishment holds a four-star-five rating on TripAdvisor. Dawn, who visited recently, described the venue as wonderful, noting she and her husband called in for a beverage and encountered friends who had independently arrived. She observed it consistently bustling with a superb atmosphere, excellent food and drinks, and remarkable service. She also highlighted the considerable heritage embedded within its walls and expressed enthusiasm about recommending it.
