==1930s-present==
The present building was constructed in the late 1930s in the Jacobean revival style. It is an example of an ‘improved public house’, part of a move by breweries in the interwar years to signal the increasingly respectable status of pubgoing as a social activity.<ref name="cityHeritage">https://www.oxford.gov.uk/downloads/file/1549/the_city_arms_cowley_road</ref>
It is now known as the City Arms and is part of a pub chain.
