A sweet little shop over three floors with a decent selection. I had a particularly lucky day and picked up a beautiful, silk, vintage Christian Dior top which was 👌🏼(£24.99) and a silver vintage Jacques Vert top with green polka dots which was 🔥 (£8.99). Initially was put off from trying on the Christian Dior too because it was zip-tied onto the hanger (presumably to deter shoplifters) but a helpful staff person encouraged me to try it on and helped remove it. There’s a dressing area to try things on on the upper floor.

17 Broad Street probably has one of the tardiest opening times of the Oxfam shops in Oxford. When the opening time was 9.30 they were almost invariably late opening. Changing to 10.00 has not made any difference - customers can be observed at 10.30 hanging around for the shop to open. Very frustrating, and certainly losing customers, goodwill and money, especially on days like Wednesday when out-of-towners come into Oxford for the open market and want to get away before the morning is out. Get a grip please !

I recently visited Oxford City Centre Oxfam and was extremely concerned by the behaviour of a member of the management team (not the store manager). When asked why second-hand items were priced so high often near or above brand-new discounted prices she confidently stated, “This is City Centre. Even though we keep prices high, people still buy. We try to maximise profit on every item.” Hearing this almost boasting, it became clear that there is a complete disregard for Oxfam’s mission. Pricing donated items this way undermines the charity’s values, including fairness, accessibility, community support, and responsible use of donations. Such practices are frustrating for volunteers, donors, and customers and significantly weaken trust in Oxfam’s commitment to recycling and helping the community. As a retail professional with over 10 years of experience and a collector, I find this profit driven approach alarming. I am no longer volunteering, donating, or shopping at Oxfam. Management should seriously review these policies and the behaviour of staff members this is not aligned with Oxfam’s mission.

Extremely overpriced items and unprofessional management not the Oxfam I know. As a retail professional with over 10 years of experience and a collector, I was shocked and deeply disappointed by a member of the management team (not the store manager) at Oxford Broad Street.When I politely asked why second-hand items were priced so high sometimes close to or even exceeding brand new discounted retail prices she confidently replied, “This is City Centre. Even though we keep prices high, people still buy. We try to maximise profit on every item.” Her words, said almost boastingly, show complete disregard for Oxfam’s mission and undermine the charity’s values of fairness, accessibility, and community support. Selling donated items at such inflated prices is extremely frustrating for volunteers, donors, and customers alike. For example, you can often find brand-new equivalents at stores like TK Maxx for far less. Her careless, profit-driven attitude broke my trust. No more donations for Oxfam, no more volunteering, and no more spending at Oxfam. This is not the Oxfam I know or perhaps I misunderstood its mission. Very disappointing👎🏻

The staff in here were rude and ungrateful. I came in and donated a book, and thought i would at leats get a 'thank you'. The man at the desk didn't help me and a woman came and asked the man, instead of me (?) whether this was a donation. Then, she walked away taking the book and not even thanking me. Really upset me.
