The lockdown hit the pub hard. It closed soon after and is still closed today. I did hear the building needs serious renovation. I'm sure there are plans to reopen it sometime, but it may be a while. On the opposite side of the road is the pub called The Lamb and Flag. This is well known too. It closed for a while as well, but has reopened now. The world is a constantly changing place. Town centres are being hit hard by internet shopping and scores of stores are closing in town centres all over the UK.

An American group has bought the pub. They will renovate it and reopen.

Plea to reopen historic city centre pub 'as soon as possible'

An Oxford tour guide has called for the Eagle and Child pub to be reopened as soon as possible.

Looks like the architecture firm they hired is the same one that did the Apple HQ as well as many other very modern looking buildings. A shame that it was left to rot and I am assuming the character and authenticity of it will be lost after renovations (assumption).
