Directions to the College

St Antony's is located in the heart of Oxford, on the corner of Woodstock Road and Bevington Road. A map of the College site can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.

By rail

Trains run at least once an hour between Oxford and London, and twice an hour during peak times. Oxford is also on the main cross-country routes. For details of times and fares, visit http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/.

From the train station

Taxis are recommended from the station, but if you are happy with a 30 minute walk, turn left as you leave the station area. The Royal Oxford Hotel is directly in front of you; keep left and walk along Hythe Bridge Street. At the end walk straight across into George Street. At the end of George Street the department store Debenhams is on the left. Turn left onto Magdalen Street and walk northwards towards St Giles and Woodstock Road and then follow the instructions given below.

The 14 bus connecting the railway station to the John Radcliffe (or JR) hospital has a stop very close to the College by Bevington Road. For timetable information, see http://www.stagecoachbus.com/ and search for Oxford in the Location drop-down and 14 as the Route No./Name.

By coach / bus

Two companies run frequent buses, 24 hours a day, between London (Victoria Bus Station) and Oxford: the Oxford Bus Company (tel: +44 (0) 1865 785400) and the Oxford Tube (tel: +44 (0) 1865 772250).

There are also direct and regular services to Oxford from Heathrow and Gatwick airports run by the Oxford Bus Company (see above contact details). Coach services from other parts of the country are also available. See the National Express web-site for more information.

From the city centre

Taxis are recommended from the bus station if you have luggage.

To walk from the city centre to St Antony's will take 15-20 minutes. Many local bus stops are located on Magdalen Street (outside the Odeon cinema), and national buses arrive at Gloucester Green Bus Station on George Street. From there you should make your way to Magdalen Street and from there you will reach St Giles'. Keep to the left-hand side of St Giles' and follow the road north. This becomes Woodstock Road eventually when you have passed St Giles' church (on the right) and Brown's Café (on the left). Walk straight up the road, passing the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter and Green Templeton College on the left, until you reach a small group of shops (on the left). The entrance to St Antony's is about 50 metres further up on the right-hand side of the road.

Taxis

There are taxi ranks (pick-up points) at the train station, Gloucester Green bus station and St Giles in the city centre.
