Due
to parking limitations in Oxford, we strongly advise delegates to
arrive at Wadham College by train or other public transport if at
all possible.
Wadham
College is very centrally located (see map
below) on the corner of Parks Road and Broad Street, directly opposite
the Bodleian library. The college is within 10 minutes walk
from the central bus station and the main shopping areas. The City
Circle electric bus stops close to Wadham and provides a frequent
service (about every 12 mins) covering all of the city centre.
By Car: The college has NO
PARKING facilities for visitors and parking is very difficult
within the city centre. There are only a few Pay & Display spaces
available right outside the main gate of Wadham College and overnight
parking is not very safe. You are therefore strongly recommended
to make use of the city's Park
& Ride facilities.
Oxfordshire County Council manages
2 of the 5 Park & Ride Sites around the city. These are at Water
Eaton (to the north east of Oxford, off the A4260) and Thornhill
(to the east of Oxford, off the A40). The charge is 60p per day
(24 hrs) with a maximum stay allowed of up to 72 hours. For longer
stays, secure overnight parking can be arranged at Gloucester Green
Underground Car Park (100 spaces). In order to take advantage of
this facility, please contact the Enforcement Office during office
hours on 01865 794307. Out of hours, please seek the assistance
of the Car Park Officer on duty at Gloucester Green Car Park.
By Air:
The most convenient arrival airport is London Heathrow, from which
there is a frequent express coach service to Oxford. London Gatwick
is a little further, but again there is direct coach service to
and from Oxford. Birmingham International has a less frequent coach
and rail connection with Oxford.
By Rail:
There are frequent direct trains from London Paddington to Oxford
and regular links to other mainline stations across the country.
The station in Oxford is a 15 minute walk from the city centre and
Wadham College. There is also a taxi rank at the station. For timetable
information, please see www.nationalrail.co.uk.
By Coach:
There are very frequent services from London's
Victoria Station, Heathrow
and Gatwick Airports to Oxford. A rather less frequent service
connects with Birmingham International airports. The central bus
and coach depot (Gloucester Green) is in the city centre. For coach
information, please see The
Oxford Bus Company.
On
arrival at Wadham College, please report to the Lodge
who will direct you to CSW's registration office and your accommodation.
