Oxford

Getting here

The most convenient airport for Oxford is London Heathrow - the Airline coach leaves from the Central Bus Station-bay 14A- (Terminals 1, 2, 3) every 30 min (10 min later from Bay 11, Terminal 5) and takes about 1.5 hrs (if arriving at Terminal 4, take the free "Shuttle Bus" to Terminal 5). From London Gatwick the Airline coach leaves every hour (stopping at both North and South terminals) and takes just over 2 hrs. If arriving at London Luton, it takes 3-4 hrs to get to Oxford by National Express coach (typically via London or Heathrow) while from London Stansted there is a direct 757 coach every 2 hrs which takes ~3 hrs to Oxford.

There are two frequent coach services to/from London - the Oxford Espress and the Oxford Tube - taking ~1.5-2 hrs. Fast Trains to/from London Paddington take ~1 hr (beware of stopping trains that can take ~2 hrs).

Do not consider driving as parking is both difficult and expensive in Oxford (neither Wadham College nor the Physics Department can provide parking). If you wish to take a taxi from the airports (convenient for Luton or Stansted) it is cheaper to prebook one from a local company (e.g. CCB Cars, Executive Travel, OxiCars) who will meet you at Arrivals.  If you must drive, then you can park in the "Park & Ride" outside Oxford.

If coming by coach from London/Heathrow/Gatwick/Luton/Stansted you can walk from the final stop at Gloucester Green Coach Station to Wadham College (~5 min) or to the Denys Wilkinson Building (~10 min). If arriving by train, you can still walk from the station (~10 min to Wadham College or ~15 min to the DWB). Bus X5 from the Railway station stops at "St Giles", just across the road from the DWB. If taking a taxi to the DWB please note that Keble Road is closed to through traffic so it is faster (and cheaper) to get off at "St Giles" and cross the road.

Exeter College where the dinner will be held on Thursday is on Broad Street (entrance from Turl Street), around the corner from Wadham College on Parks Road.
