How to get here
Public transport
Oxford has great transport links by bus and rail. Oxford is less than an hour from London and Birmingham by train. The Old Bodleian Library and Weston Library are a 15-minute walk from Oxford train station. The city centre has brilliant bus connections and there are five Park and Ride sites connected to Oxford. For more information visit the Oxford City Council website.
Please allow ample time to get here from destinations outside Oxford if you are using public transport, as there have been frequent issues with transport links recently. Please note that tour tickets are non-refundable, and ticket holders are expected 10 minutes before all tour bookings.
Parking
There are limited parking spaces available on Broad Street and Parks Road. If you wish to drive, you will find Park and Ride by far the best way to get into Oxford.
Blue Badge parking
There are five on-street Blue Badge parking spaces near the Bodleian Libraries: one in front of Exeter College; two outside Blackwell's bookshop on Broad Street and two on Parks Road, near the King's Arms pub.
Please refer to the Oxford Tourist Information Centre for more information on disabled parking spaces and procedures.
