Directions for visitors

Advice on travel to Oxford is available (see also Oxford travel and timetables). The department is a brisk 15-minute walk from the railway station, or a brisk 10-minute walk from the bus station, but taxis are readily available.

The map on this page shows the immediate surroundings of the Wolfson Building (marked "OUCL" on the map). The building is on the corner of Keble Road and Parks Road, with the main entrance on Parks Road. The map of the City Centre shows the area of the department (close to the University Parks) as well as the railway and bus stations (see also other maps).

Public parking in the city centre is very limited and the best advice for those coming by car is probably to use the Park & Ride services on the city outskirts (see map). However, "Pay and display" parking for up to two hours (at £1.50/hour) is usually available on Keble Road.

Note that the road junction between Keble Road and Banbury Road has been closed to motor vehicles. Access from Banbury Road is now via the junction with Parks Road at the northern end of the "Keble Road triangle".

To use a mapping service (such as Multimap or Streetmap) or a route planning service (such as RAC Route Planner or Google Maps) please use postcode OX1 3QD.
