Finding The Oxford Centre
The Oxford Centre has an enviable location within Oxford City and is extremely well served by all methods of public and private transport.
Park and Ride – The Centre is very convenient for users of the Park and Ride facility at Water Eaton to the North of the City near Kidlington. This can be readily accessed from the A34 at the Peartree Interchange. Follow signs for Kidlington and at the second roundabout after leaving the A34, follow signs for Water Eaton Park and Ride (4th Exit). Buses stop immediately opposite The Centre coming from the Park and Ride, and collect 50 metres or so to the south of The Centre for the return journey. Buses run every ten minutes during rush hour.

By Coach – Oxford Coach Station (Gloucester Green) is well served by coaches from all parts of the country and major airports. The ‘Oxford Tube’ to and from London is a very regular service. On arrival at the coach station make your way back through the main entrance and pick up any No. 2 or 7 bus to the Norwich Union stop in the Banbury Road, only yards from the centre.
By Bus – The Centre is well served by buses, in addition to the very frequent No 2 & No 7 local buses the X59 from Banbury, X27 from Bicester, X5 from Cambridge, Bedford and Milton Keynes and the X38 from Northampton all pass the Centre.
