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.

By coach

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.

Situated just north of Oxford city centre the junction of St Giles is approximately 500 metres to the south and Walton Street is approximately 300 metres to the west.
