Throughout 2018 we had a few clients who arrived late for tours due to parking problems. Please do allow plenty of time when travelling to Oxford. Car parking is not plentiful in the centre of Oxford and is discouraged. The best option is to use one of the 5 park and rides outside Oxford and then hop on the bus into town. This is how I always travel in. It will cost you £2 to park the car for up to 12 hours. Note that you will require the last 3 digits of your car registration when paying at the machine so if you have a hire car – remember to make a note! Here is the link to the Park and Ride website:

If you do prefer to drive into Oxford then you could try The Westgate car park:-

Another car park would be Worcester Street:-

Or Gloucester Green:-
