The building on the left is The Freud café-bar
From Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freud,_Oxford -
"The Freud café-bar stands opposite the Oxford University Press, and at the head of Great Clarendon Street. The bar, which was opened in 1988, is housed in a grand neoclassical building with an Ionic portico.This building was constructed as the Church of St Paul, the first Anglican parish church to be constructed in Oxford after the Reformation.The new church and parish was created to serve the growing community of Jericho. The building was designed by the architect H. J. Underwood and built in 1836. The architect E. G. Bruton added the apse in 1853 and F. C. Eden remodelled the interior in 1908. In the 20th century St Paul's became a redundant church and, after de-consecration, became a theatre and arts centre. In 1988 the building was acquired by Secession Ltd. to prevent its demolition and opened as Freud café-bar".

The building on the right is the Blavatnik School of Government.
