The Seven Stars was situated at 30 Lake Street. This Morrells-owned pub opened in 1870 and closed in 1992. It is now in residential use.

Review from tantallon.org.uk:

* Morrells Oxford Bitter £1.80 (30.v.1999) Good this. Right "locals" pub it is. Anywhere, however small, that's packed on a Tuesday night can't be all bad. It's a converted pair of rooms on the ground floor of a typical New Hinksey house on Lake St. The service is prompt, and bewilderingly quick, and friendly. Reasonable pint of Oxford bitter, chiefly, I suspect, on account of the high turnover of beer. There's also a tarmacadamed garden of sorts out the back, with benches, which leads on to Stewart Street. The highlight of the pub, other than the huge cardboard cutouts of Robin Williams in drag and Gary Lineker, is a magnificent fish tank, much like the one they used to have in the Bookbinders Arms with an enormous Oscar called Phillip in it. There is a dog which is either the pub dog or one that's just known to all of the clientèle, but I don't know its name. (30.v.1999) Leigh Perrott tells me that there is an Alsatian-like dog called Candy, and adds: The Tarmac bit out the back of the stars is an Aunt sally pitch. Also they have a music quiz there on Thursday and Sunday nights. (16.v.2000)
