By Car

Oxford is connected to London, the M25 and the Midlands by the M40 motorway, with Junctions 8 and 9 linking directly to the city. The Oxford ring road provides direct access to and from the south and west via the A34. 

Parking in the city centre is extremely limited and very expensive, so we recommend using the Park & Ride service. Frequent bus services link five Park & Ride car parks located just within the ring road. They are: Pear Tree (no. 300) and Water Eaton (no. 500) (north); Seacourt (no. 400) (west); Redbridge (no. 300) (south); and Thornhill (no. 400) (east). Contact Oxford Bus Company (01865 785400) or see Park & Ride for timetables and prices. Please note that there is no parking available at Jesus College. If you do want to drive into Oxford, the most convenient multi-storey is in the Westgate Centre; access is from Thames Street.
