Directions
We are on the first floor of the Rosemary Rue building. There is no public access however, so you will need to go to reception on the ground floor and ask them to ring us so that we can come down and meet you.

Parking
Parking is available but must be booked in advance. Please inform us if you plan to visit by car.

Buses direct to Headington Shops can be taken from Heathrow Airport (X70), London (The Oxford Tube and the Oxford Espress) and from within Oxford from the Railway Station (U1) and from the High Street (8, 7C, 400). The bus City 4 (note: this has now changed from the old City 15) to Wood Farm stops on Old Road, outside the campus (pedestrian entrance).

From Headington Shops/ London Road turn onto Windmill Road and continue until you reach the traffic lights at the crossroads. Turn right at the lights onto Old Road and then take the second left onto Churchill Drive just before the pedestrian crossing. Take the first right off Churchill Drive onto Roosevelt Drive and then the first turn off to the right takes you onto the campus. Arriving on campus from this direction, the Rosemary Rue Building is a white building on your left after you have passed the green building. Car parking permits are collected from the Rosemary Rue building where reception will advise where to park.

Pedestrians from Headington may continue past Churchill Drive and past a small car park on the left to a foot entrance down to Old Road Campus. The Rosemary Rue building is then through the car park and on your right.

Taxi from centre of town takes approx. 15 minutes and costs £8-9. Two local firms are ABC Taxis (01865 770077) and City Taxis (01865 201201).
