The Thieves Guild in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is located in the Imperial City’s Waterfront District, specifically in a place called the Garden of Dareloth. This garden is behind the Abandoned Shack, south of the pirate ship in the Waterfront area
. To join the Thieves Guild, you can either get caught committing a crime and serve time in prison, after which you will be approached with an invitation, or you can talk to a beggar in the city after raising their disposition by giving them gold and asking about the Gray Fox.

. You need to show up at the Garden of Dareloth at midnight to meet Armand Christophe, who will give you your initiation quest to join the guild. This quest involves stealing a diary from Amantius Allectus, whose house is located in the Temple District of the Imperial City. After completing this trial, you officially become a member of the Thieves Guild
