December 2016: The Eau de Vie natural health centre has just closed, and its new occupants (the Thy Spa Thai massage centre) are moving in. The top half of the building is still painted in the dark grey 'chalk paint' of the previous business. The paint was supplied by Annie Sloan, whose headquarters are opposite at [[33 Cowley Road]]. Strangely, the new brown paint and text above the window was swiftly painted over and the building reverted to its former dark grey colour before the Thy Spa actually opened in January 2017.
==1990s-2016==
The Eau de Vie Natural Health Centre occupied this building from the mid 1990s until it closed in early 2016, posting this message on their website:
The door on the left of the building is the last trace of the separate flat which used to occupy the upstairs of the building. During Eau de Vie's time, the upstairs rooms were served by a separate electric meter.
Kelly's Directory 1976 EOA books.<br/> Named after the East Oxford Advertiser, a newspaper that ran from 1970 to 1974, this was a mainly political bookshop run by Jon Carpenter. There was a back section of spiritual books run by Anthony Cheke called the Inner Bookshop. This eventually took over the shop until it moved to Magdalen Road, where it has now been replaced by Wild Honey health food store
