Travel to Oxford

Travel to Oxford

To get to Oxford from outside the UK, you will fly to London or Birmingham (or take the Eurostar train), and then take the coach or train to Oxford (1-2 hours). Once you arrive in the little town, everything is close; you can walk, take a taxi or take one of the very frequent local buses.

For London airports, prefer Heathrow, also Gatwick. Avoid Stansted and Luton airports. ‘London City’ airport is feasible, but traffic an issue (buses ‘X90′ and ‘Oxford Tube’). Birmingham airport is very good, too; travel from there by coach or by train to Oxford.

WiFi and electricity on board (UK plugs). Payment on board or at the 'National Express' counter. No pre-booking needed.
