By train
Trains run hourly from London's Paddington Station to Oxford. The journey time is approximately an hour and the fare varies depending on the time of day.
Park Central is about 5 minutes walk from Oxford railway station. On exiting the station cross the footbridge at the top of the slope by the station cycle racks, and after descending on the far side cross the narrow Becket Street onto Park End Street. Go straight ahead and cross at the traffic lights at Hollybush Row. Continue straight ahead for approximately 100 metres, and the entrance to Park Central is on your right. Ring the doorbell to gain entry.
By coach
The bus station for coaches to and from London is just a few minutes walk from Park End Street.
Coaches from London to Oxford run every few minutes during the day. The journey takes a minimum of 75 minutes but it is advisable to allow plenty of time, due to traffic congestion. There are two coach companies:
- the Oxford Tube, calls at Watlington (on the M40), Hillingdon, Shepherd's Bush, Notting Hill and Marble Arch, terminating close to London's Victoria Coach Station
- the Oxford Express - X90 calls at Shepherd's Bush and Marble Arch and terminates at London Victoria Coach Station.
By road
Approaching from the north, leave the M40 motorway at junction 9 (Oxford/Bicester) and follow the A34 westward around the city. Leave the A34 at the A420 (Swindon) junction and follow the signs to the town centre along the Botley Road. Parking in the centre is costly and the traffic is often very heavy. You may find it easier to follow the signs to the Park-&-Ride (Seacourt), park and take one of the buses which run about every ten minutes.
From the south and west you will also join the A34 ring road, leave it at the A420 junction and follow the route described above.
Approaching from the east, leave the M40 at junction 8 and either leave your car at the Park-&-Ride (Thornhill) and take a bus into the city or follow the A40 north around the city turning left into the Banbury Road (signed to Summertown) and follow signs to the city centre.
Parking in Oxford
Parking is expensive - expect to pay £15.00+ per day. Parking is available at Worcester Street car park. Access is from Park End Street. Parking is also available in Gloucester Place car park, off Beaumont Street and is sometimes available at the Randolph Hotel, in Beaumont Street. All are within five minutes walk of Park Central.

Internal audit is often the Cinderella of the audit world. It’s a regulatory requirement for insurance companies to have an internal audit function, so why not make it as useful as possible? This session will look at how to link an internal audit plan to the risk register, and how that helps audit committees and boards to spot problems and fix them. -
Climate change is one of the greatest risks facing our world today. Addressing it will require multi-faceted solutions.
