Working through some photos to make sure I've added everything I thought I had, I find myself perplexed by this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6809909702/
What's it called? "TLS"? "Tourist Centre"? It's next door to a place called The Letting Shop: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6956036487/ which is suspiciously similarly acronymmed.
Yes, I think TLS = The Letting Shop: http://www.lettingshopoxford.co.uk/ - warning! site makes loud sounds!
and the photos on Google Streetview show 'TLS' on the lettings bit of the windows as well, in the same design (can't see from your photo if they're still there). So I think it's all part of the same thing. However...
And what _is_ it? A tourist information centre? A souvenir shop? The window displays make it look like some kind of sporting goods shop.
...I'm not totally sure what that is. I mean, there is definitely some kind of seedy lettings agency there, but I dunno about the tourist tat and sporting goods. If I get a chance I will actually go round there & look (it's not that far from work).
It's amazing how many shops in Oxford I just Never Think About At All in the normal course of events. :-}
