The Corner House pub stands at the southernost extremity of Headington, at the end of The Slade on the corner of Horpath Driftway and Hollow Way. Its address is 236 Hollow Way, Headington.

It was built in the mid-1930s. The site is near the former Cowley Barracks, and soldiers based at the barracks during the Second World War painted a series of murals inside the pub, and these are subject to a preservation order.

In 2013 Marston's Brewery sold the pub to New River Retail, who hoped to convert it into a convenience store:

• Oxford Mail, 11 September 2015: “‘Don’t kill off our last pub standing’”

It appears that the Co-op pulled out of a retail deal following the acquisition by Aldi of the former Curry's store at the other end of Horspath Driftway.

In 2015 the pub was successfully nominated by the Lye Valley Residents' and Tenants' Association as an Asset of Community Value.

New River Retail are currently leasing the pub back to Marston's, and in 2018 it is underwent extensive renovations.
